The Eternal Dominion of Aderius is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Imperator-Marshal Dyrusen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.462 billion Aderians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krucerus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.8%.

The strong Aderian economy, worth 509 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 93,275 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 310,969 per year while the poor average 20,830, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, and all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aderius's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Aderius is ranked 229,638^th in the world and 8^th in Astoria for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 158.06 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
