The Republic of Ardeact is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its frequent executions. The hard-working, democratic population of 9.725 billion Ardeactians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The strong Ardeactian economy, worth 589 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,654 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", and childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ardeact's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ardeact is ranked 101,044^th in the world and 3,917^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,346.16 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
