Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Adolanta is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mondius with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.572 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adolantis City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Information Technology.

Commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adolanta's national animal is the Bull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Pinga.

Adolanta is ranked 382nd in The East Pacific and 13,236th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
