The State of Agrabad is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.695 billion Agrabadians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The very strong Agrabadian economy, worth 830 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 56,545 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,600 per year while the poor average 13,784, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and Agrabad has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Agrabad's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Agrabad is ranked 120,164^th in the world and 342^nd in Ancient Lands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 19.5 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
