The Republic of Adkins Station is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.66 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

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.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, Adkins Station has designated Courtneyville as its capital city, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. 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 4,193rd in The East Pacific and 97,092nd in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
