The Kingdom of Adgestone is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Aethelwalh with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 14.54 billion Adgestoners have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Longwood. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Adgestonean economy, worth a remarkable 1,718 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 118,173 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Adgestone recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, and artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adgestone's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is pagan.

Adgestone is ranked 8,992^nd in the world and 4^th in Wihtwara for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,697.86 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
