The Monastic Community of AgniParthene is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Ecumenical Patriarch Διόνυσος with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and lack of airports. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 5.993 billion AgniPartheneans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy City. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient AgniParthenean economy, worth 577 trillion Lire a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 96,384 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

AgniPartheneans incessantly needle their doctors for relief, religious officials are furious after discovering that things made of stone do not burn well at the stake, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AgniParthene's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox.

AgniParthene is ranked 305,248^th in the world and 6^th in Byzantine Christendom for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.39 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
