The Femboy Union of Argylia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Felix Argyle The Cutest of bois with an iron fist, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, keen interest in outer space, and conspicuous electricity pylons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.426 billion Argylians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felixgrad. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Argylian economy, worth a remarkable 4,524 trillion Felixes 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, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 396,019 Felixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, citizens are told that foreigners are hungry ghosts who eat the flesh of the overly curious, and toxic smog is dismissed as the populace just "letting off steam". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Argylia's national animal is the Neko, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Maid Miku Plushie.

Argylia is ranked 13,139th in the world and 299th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,850.96 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
