The All Powerful Republic of Aggroville is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Citizen 0 with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.418 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystal City. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Uranium Mining.

It is illegal to liberate slaves, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Aggroville, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, and the state has declared war on the environment and environmentalists by association. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Aggroville's national animal is the Tegu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is The Orthodox Church of Aggroville, and its currency is the Marq.

Aggroville is ranked 2nd in NortheastShooterStan and 12,441st in the world for Most Influential, scoring 33 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
