The United Commonwealths of Gagium is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Arsène Rodier with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 15.275 billion Gagians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Louis. The average income tax rate is 5.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Gagian economy, worth a remarkable 4,688 trillion Gagis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 306,915 Gagis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The national defense strategy is a little floppy, the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert, fan-made edits of old films have seen a sudden jump in quality, and foreign workers are flooding in as Gagis flood out. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gagium's national animal is the Pelican, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Gagium is ranked 717^th in the world and 1^st in The Floating Continents of Maira Dolaiea for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 291,263.1 Standard Monetary Units.
