The 5000th Nation in Suspicious of Ardorn is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 6.191 billion Ardornians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Ardornian economy, worth 144 trillion regions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 23,413 regions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ardorn's national animal is the black hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ardorn is ranked 163,202^nd in the world and 3,511^th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 452.59 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
