The Dominion of Adam Smith is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.136 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The small, pro-business government concentrates mainly on Defence, although Social Welfare and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adam Smith City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12%. A robust private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

Euthanasia is illegal, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, Adam Smith has designated Adam Smith City as its capital city, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Adam Smith's national animal is the thinker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the theory.

Adam Smith is ranked 23rd in Gargantuan and 50,873rd in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
