The Grand Duchy of Screams of Agony 14 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.824 billion Screams of Agony 14ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The powerhouse Screams of Agony 14ian economy, worth 255 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 66,854 guilders, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,799 per year while the poor average 12,454, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and swings are banned for being a danger to children. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Screams of Agony 14's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Screams of Agony 14 is ranked 246,593rd in the world and 3,830th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 19.8156470402 days.
