The Rogue Technocracy of Agudo Island is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Jose Agudo with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 1.4 billion techanistas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clara Luz. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Techanista economy, worth 158 trillion bitcredits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 113,096 bitcredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country is governed by a clique of political insiders known colloquially as The Establishment, school kids who pretend to drive imaginary cars get a social worker and a police observer assigned to them, beating a dead horse is a scientific endeavor, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agudo Island's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular atheism.

Agudo Island is ranked 290,907th in the world and 380th in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
