The Imperium of Agatep is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Francis Parker Jockey with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.873 billion Agatepians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad de Ricardo. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Agatepian economy, worth a remarkable 3,716 trillion Larcs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 418,833 Larcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime, electricians spend more time in school than doctors, the children of Agatep are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and nuclear physics is the most popular course at university. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agatep's national animal is the Camo Green Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Spirit.

Agatep is ranked 348^th in the world and 6^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,306.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
