Location: The East Pacific

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Adkins Station is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its parental licensing program. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 10.833 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Courtneyville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, Adkins Station has designated Courtneyville as its capital city, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adkins Station's national animal is the butterfly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the kin.

Adkins Station is ranked 4,849th in The East Pacific and 128,875th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -9 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
