The People's Democratic Republic of A Guy from Some Place is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Revolutionary Communist Party of Aguya with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.93 billion Aguyans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Place Aguya. The average income tax rate is 38.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aguyan economy, worth a remarkable 1,672 trillion Aguyan Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 210,877 Aguyan Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for A Guy from Some Place, parents dread their examinations more than their children, chickens roam the streets freely, and convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Guy from Some Place's national animal is the Aguyan Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is State Secularism.

A Guy from Some Place is ranked 207,321st in the world and 320th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Stationary, with 39.67842599468 days.
