The State of Argelia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The democratic, devout population of 10.901 billion Argelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 28.2%.

The large but inefficient Argelian economy, worth 615 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 56,448 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, deer are considered a delicacy, Argelia has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Argelia in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Argelia's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Argelia is ranked 182,626^th in the world and 522^nd in United States of America for Most Primitive, scoring -72.11 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
