The Military Junta run States of Adversia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mr Slappyfist with an iron fist, and remarkable for its restrictive gun laws, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 37.661 billion Adverse are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merthyr. The average income tax rate is 93.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Adverse economy, worth a remarkable 3,552 trillion Adversian Crescents a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 94,317 Adversian Crescents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Cremation is compulsory for the deceased, vitriolic divorce proceedings have become prime-time television, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adversia's national animal is the Moroccan Mole and its national religion is Fratilliism.

Adversia is ranked 79,401^st in the world and 4^th in The Fratillian Union for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 190,514 Standard Monetary Units.
