The Republic of Agorus is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 20.454 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 88.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Agorusian economy, worth an astonishing 13,787 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 674,095 Roubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, and the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards. 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 1,846^th in the world and 42^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 147.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
