The Imperial Union of Jagada is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Basileus Auxitius Kravenikos al'Maw with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 42.237 billion Jagites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fostoria. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Jagite economy, worth a remarkable 8,907 trillion Icons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 210,892 Icons, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Heavily stoned police officers are unsure whether the recent directive to 'clean up the streets' means arresting drug dealers or hosing down the sidewalk, the government is encouraging people to go on citric acid trips, the new classical revitalization of Fostoria is expected to be completed sometime in the next century, and soldiers must key in their passwords every time they want to reload their weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Jagada's national animal is the red dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cydonic Orthodoxy.

Jagada is ranked 267,959^th in the world and 6^th in Gholgoth for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 26.37 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
