The Federation of Arganhia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 41.741 billion Arganhians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tri-Star City. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Arganhian economy, worth a remarkable 2,721 trillion Burgus a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,190 Burgus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Students cut up leftover Burgus during Arts and Crafts, criminals are thrown to the Horses to repay their debt to society, morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arganhia's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arganhia is ranked 70,574^th in the world and 4^th in User Friendlia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 28.61 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
