The Galactic Empire of Gig em Aggies is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chief Justice D R Pepper with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, parental licensing program, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 32.174 billion Aggies are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reveille City. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gig em Aggiesian economy, worth an astonishing 16,494 trillion Reveilles 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 and Information Technology. 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 a breathtaking 512,679 Reveilles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, trespassers entering Chief Justice D R Pepper's office are immediately vaporized, and the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Gig em Aggies's national animal is the Sauroposeidon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Gig em Aggies is ranked 582nd in the world and 2nd in Texas for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 21,645.91 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
