The Kingdom of Adaranthia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Pino Noye with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.437 billion Adaranthians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heblag. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Adaranthian economy, worth a remarkable 4,762 trillion Adars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 354,402 Adars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,001,810 per year while the poor average 100,306, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Heblag, the new Really Big Telescope has been praised for presenting pictures of bright dots in unprecedented detail, and the Adaranthian Goat stadiums are open 24/7. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Adaranthia's national animal is the Adaranthian Goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Adaranthian Catholic.

Adaranthia is ranked 3,493^rd in the world and 102^nd in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 658.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
