The Federal Royalist Republic of Adriatican is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Crown Chancellor Anderholt with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 16.641 billion Adriaris are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ameria. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Adriari economy, worth a remarkable 3,595 trillion Unitarias 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 216,089 Unitarias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new coalition government is so large nobody knows where it begins, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, all the playground's a stage for Adriari schoolchildren, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime is totally unknown. Adriatican's national animal is the Erenia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Universalism.

Adriatican is ranked 4,787^th in the world and 280^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 117.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
