The State of Argall is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 39.494 billion Argallians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The thriving Argallian economy, worth a remarkable 1,725 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 43,696 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 183,854 per year while the poor average 6,739, a ratio of 27.3 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government is avowedly atheist, Argall's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and Argall has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Argall's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Argall is ranked 91,273^rd in the world and 2^nd in Highlanders for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,257.24 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
