The Liberal Republic of Agritum is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Maximilian Clover with a fair hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.544 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greenmoor. The average income tax rate is 98%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

All guns must be registered, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agritum's national animal is the Stag Beetle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Agrian.

Agritum is ranked 57th in Ankh Mauta and 102,550th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.043 Stalins.
