The Dominion of Adorn is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.687 billion Adornians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Adornian economy, worth 910 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 118,496 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Political candidates are regularly blocked for minor convictions from their teenage years, A-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adorn's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Adorn is ranked 86,950^th in the world and 4,176^th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 584.2 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
