The Republic of Agorus is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 21.782 billion Agorusians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agorus City. The average income tax rate is 90.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Agorusian economy, worth an astonishing 15,533 trillion Roubles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is a breathtaking 713,143 Roubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus, and delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Agorus's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is a major religion.

Agorus is ranked 95,092^nd in the world and 1,438^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,220.94 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
