The Republic of Agorus is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 22.163 billion Agorusians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agorus City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Agorusian economy, worth an astonishing 15,929 trillion Roubles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 718,725 Roubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,553,065 per year while the poor average 145,811, a ratio of 17.5 to 1.
Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Agorus, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Agorus's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is a major religion.
Agorus is ranked 190th in the world and 4th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 15,788.05 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
