The Republic of Agricultural Nurn is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sauron with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, strictly enforced bedtime, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.633 billion Nurnian Slaves 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Ash Cloud Shadow of Mount Doom. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Agricultural Nurnian economy, worth a remarkable 2,595 trillion Golds a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,040 Golds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 706,939 per year while the poor average 21,133, a ratio of 33.5 to 1.

People who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, and soup kitchens are the only things doing roaring business. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Agricultural Nurn's national animal is the Slave, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Agricultural Nurn is ranked 290,060th in the world and 17th in Mordor for Highest Food Quality, scoring 2.56 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
