The Swag Republic of Ardsk is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Cha Cha with an even hand, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.544 billion Ardskians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruska. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ardskian economy, worth 180 trillion Ardoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 70,772 Ardoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's always rabbit season, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, laborers are building walls and making Wezeltonia pay for it, and group hugs break out during floor votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ardsk's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ardsk is ranked 42,441^st in the world and 4^th in Timoria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,189.61 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
