The Backroad Bystander of Adkissa is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by the Executive Chairman with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 5.586 billion Adkissans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jacona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Adkissan economy, worth 645 trillion Adkissan Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 115,436 Adkissan Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 381,682 per year while the poor average 26,099, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Students eagerly await homework from their gaming class, security reviews double as political propaganda, literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, and the government is spending more on exports to Brasilistan than it's receiving from tariffs on the imports. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adkissa's national animal is the White Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Adkissa is ranked 288,505^th in the world and 17^th in Blue Ridge for Most Secular, with 8.62 Atheism Rate.
