The Holy Order of Argyllon is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed population of 13.718 billion Argyllonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Curia City. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Argyllonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,272 trillion Sharps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 92,725 Sharps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects, war vets look after war animals, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Argyllon's national animal is the Carnoboar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Neo-Medieval Catholicism.

Argyllon is ranked 93,672^nd in the world and 11^th in Ireland for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,297.36 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
