The Grand Polity of Agderomat is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Archon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.518 billion Agderomatians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panorga. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Agderomatian economy, worth 591 trillion Stebrons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 234,584 Stebrons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,064,965 per year while the poor average 3,890, a ratio of 530 to 1.

Panorga's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, the news of budget cuts leaves a sour taste in Agderomatian mouths, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Agderomat's national animal is the Pegasus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cosmic Paganism.

Agderomat is ranked 301,606^th in the world and 84^th in Union of Allied States for Highest Poor Incomes, with 3,890.3 Standard Monetary Units.
