The Deadly Beauty of Secret Agent 99 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 30.364 billion Secret Agents are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The all-consuming a Secret Agent economy, worth a remarkable 3,423 trillion Countersigns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 112,749 Countersigns, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 643,049 per year while the poor average 9,592, a ratio of 67.0 to 1.

Euthanasia is legal, the adult unemployment rate nears 100% as all available jobs have been filled by young children, Fangs with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Secret Agent 99's national animal is the Fang, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Secret Agent 99 is ranked 220,663^rd in the world and 5^th in Stars for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.21 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
