The Republic of Ardulshams is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.225 billion Ardulshamsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morningstar. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ardulshamsian economy, worth 413 trillion Qamars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,813 Qamars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Ardulshams, voting is compulsory, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ardulshams's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Ardulshams is ranked 10,253^rd in the world and 8^th in Kantrias for Safest, scoring 120.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
