The Dazzling of Adagio Dazzle is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.764 billion Sirens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 30.9%.

The Siren economy, worth 325 trillion Gems a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,907 Gems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adagio Dazzle's national animal is the Controlled Student.

Adagio Dazzle is ranked 118,893^rd in the world and 4,959^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 73.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
