The People's Democratic Republic of A Guy from Some Place is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Revolutionary Communist Party of Aguya with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, strictly enforced bedtime, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.131 billion Aguyans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Place Aguya. The average income tax rate is 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aguyan economy, worth a remarkable 1,723 trillion Aguyan Marks 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 amazing 212,027 Aguyan Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, the dartboard at the Aguyan Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Revolutionary Communist Party of Aguya's face, military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, and virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Guy from Some Place's national animal is the Aguyan Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is State Secularism.

A Guy from Some Place is ranked 5,642nd in the world and 5th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 211.7 kickbacks per hour.
