The Most Serene Republic of Agencourt is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 406 million Agencourtians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aix-en-Brigide. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Agencourtian economy, worth 35.8 trillion fleurs a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,277 fleurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, war is made in the name of love, and the new coalition government has 99 problems and can't agree on how to fix one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agencourt's national animal is the sparrowhawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Agencourt is ranked 116,343^rd in the world and 5,006^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,032.95 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
