The Federal Republic of Agate Island is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Eagle with the royal Insignia population. The democratic population of 131 million Agatanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 22.2%.
The Agatanian economy, worth 5.08 trillion Agatanian Dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,741 Agatanian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, all tariffs have been abolished, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime is relatively low. Agate Island's national animal is the Eagle with the royal Insignia, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Since 2080 Agate Island has been a protectorate of the Katzenstaat. Katzenstaat protects the freedom of Agatanians and ensures that it won't be infringed.
