The Allied States of Agles is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.631 billion Aglesians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The thriving Aglesian economy, worth 631 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 65,480 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,943 per year while the poor average 14,659, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Agles's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Agles is ranked 246,991^st in the world and 1^st in Agles for Smartest Citizens, with 21.85 quips per hour.
