The Nonexistent Forests State of Agaqiniala is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 705 million Agaqini have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Averbird. The average income tax rate is 43.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Agaqini economy, worth 38.0 trillion Solarmambis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,917 Solarmambis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Air purifiers fight smoke machines on Agaqini stage setups, scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, and the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Agaqiniala's national animal is the Sand Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Agaqiniala is ranked 55,442^nd in the world and 3,336^th in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 135.23 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
