The Azgoghkian Colony of LaGosa

“Glory to Great Azgoghkian Liberators”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Azgoghkian Colony of LaGosa is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by some butt-kisser with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.324 billion LaGosans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of LG-town. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The frighteningly efficient LaGosan economy, worth a remarkable 1,726 trillion LaGoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 185,216 LaGoes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,098,491 per year while the poor average 14,375, a ratio of 76.4 to 1.

Wealthy students ride to school past mendicant dropouts, a sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. LaGosa's national animal is the funny zebra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Azgoghkian Navy.

LaGosa is ranked 97,754^th in the world and 14^th in Lux Immortalem for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
