The Republic of Agorus is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and daily referendums. 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 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Agorusian economy, worth an astonishing 13,771 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 673,304 Roubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, 'Eaglenado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, and the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying. 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 1,861^st in the world and 42^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 147.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
