The Imperium of Agatep is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Francis Parker Jockey with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, sprawling nuclear power plants, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.818 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad de Ricardo. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Agatepian economy, worth a remarkable 3,686 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 Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 418,042 Larcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders, the government is paving paradises to put up parking lots, prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. 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 Camo Green Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fourth Theory.

Agatep is ranked 2,209^th in the world and 52^nd in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 271.94 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
