The Continent of Argis is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 18.42 billion Argisians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The strong Argisian economy, worth 724 trillion francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 39,354 francs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,643 per year while the poor average 2,467, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Argis's national animal is the leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Argis is ranked 301,296^th in the world and 1^st in Argis for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 133.8 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
