The Holy Empire of Agiosa is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, national health service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 498 million Agiosans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 39.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Agiosan economy, worth 50.9 trillion Agiosan Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,156 Agiosan Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lion-reed-vulture-hand-reed-mouth is how Leader is spelt now, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, urbanites battle to the death for penthouse apartments, and the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Agiosa's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Agiosa is ranked 153,675^th in the world and 97^th in Lesbian for Smartest Citizens, with 29.45 quips per hour.
