The Midnight Shadow of Gagium is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Gagger with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 20.371 billion Gaggers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Slop Den. The average income tax rate is 4.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Gagger economy, worth a remarkable 6,144 trillion Wasted Times a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 301,625 Wasted Times, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The The Slop Den Pride Parade's head banner explains how unionizing is heteronormative, the ingredients list for most food products covers the entire surface of the packaging, politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, and sex-ed is child's play. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gagium's national animal is the 5-Star Player, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Defender Extremism.

Gagium is ranked 75,262^nd in the world and 98^th in The League for Most Developed, scoring 68.69 on the Human Development Index.
