The Outer Space Peoples of Addrian is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Christopher Resa with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-working population of 3.664 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, the Environment, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Soda Sales and Book Publishing.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, the government seizes all major gold finds, anti-government web sites are springing up, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Addrian's national animal is the Hed, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Kabamish, and its currency is the American.

Addrian is ranked 10th in Democratic Social Union and 27,935th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 30 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
