The Imperium of Agatep is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Retep I with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.949 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 is ignored. 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 7,452 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 534,241 Larcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dearly departed are remembered with a good meal, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander. 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 1,001^st in the world and 11^th in Europe for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 106,433.61 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
