The State of Adelaide Lodge is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.797 billion Adelaide Lodgeans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The thriving Adelaide Lodgean economy, worth 713 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 34,297 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 99,330 per year while the poor average 9,385, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, voting is voluntary, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Adelaide Lodge's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Adelaide Lodge is ranked 253,336^th in the world and 441^st in United States of America for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
