The Holy Empire of Adamede is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Levionse II with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, soft-spoken computers, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.996 billion Adamedeans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiossen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.2%.

The strong Adamedean economy, worth 338 trillion dollars 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 67,812 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 224,031 per year while the poor average 15,350, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Public shaming has become the favoured form of punishment, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, and criminals are thrown to the Imperial Raptors to repay their debt to society. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adamede's national animal is the Imperial Raptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Adamede is ranked 286,979^th in the world and 11,869^th in Balder for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 16 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
