The Shizhu Caliphate of Aglrinia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Prophet Kudu with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, avowedly heterosexual populace, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 25.674 billion Aglrinese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kazahkbad. The average income tax rate is 72.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Aglrinian economy, worth a remarkable 4,015 trillion Beijis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 156,388 Beijis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

To 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase, royals are always ready with their diamond-encrusted toilet plungers in case a royal flush doesn't work, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and decongestants have replaced Beijis in street transactions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aglrinia's national animal is the Maned Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Aglrinia is ranked 39,329^th in the world and 1,143^rd in Balder for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 265,318 Standard Monetary Units.
