The Imperium of Agatep is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Retep I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, vat-grown people, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.918 billion Agatepians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Retpograd. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Agatepian economy, worth a remarkable 7,435 trillion Larcs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is a breathtaking 534,241 Larcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dearly departed are remembered with a good meal, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agatep's national animal is the Axolotl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Zeitgeist.

Agatep is ranked 555^th in the world and 6^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 534,241.9 Standard Monetary Units.
