The Republic of Agmeep is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Agano Iddo with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 13.794 billion Agmeepians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erneba. The average income tax rate is 28.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Agmeepian economy, worth 240 trillion Marnoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 17,401 Marnoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Agmeepian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, tourists visit Agmeep to mass-moon Agmeepian politicians, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agmeep's national animal is the The Orange Walrus, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Eism.

Agmeep is ranked 299,079^th in the world and 9^th in Andromedia for Most Developed, scoring 44.85 on the Human Development Index.
