The Holy Green Nudist Colony of Adamant is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Godiva with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 819 million Adamantians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nirvana. The average income tax rate is 29.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Adamantian economy, worth 61.2 trillion gold bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 74,754 gold bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Fresh food is a thing of the past due to onerous testing standards, foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with Godiva, pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, and Adamantian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Godiva. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Adamant's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Adamant is ranked 280,230^th in the world and 2^nd in Tau Ceti Zidday Survival Zone for Most Patriotic, with 1.89 flags saluted per person per day.
