The Imperium of Agatep is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Retep I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.585 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Retpograd. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Agatepian economy, worth a remarkable 7,247 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 Tourism. Average income is a breathtaking 533,510 Larcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonials are offended to find a local animal has been re-named the 'Furry Four-Legged Marsupial Axolotl', The Retpograd State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee', Axolotl sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites, and those on cloud nine have been relocated to cloud negative six. 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 Axolotl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Zeitgeist.

Agatep is ranked 653^rd in the world and 4^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 17,933.38 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
