The Republic of Southern Numenor is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elros Tar-Minyatur with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.905 billion Southern Numenorians 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 enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armenolos. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Southern Numenorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,861 trillion Castars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 235,488 Castars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Sabertooth Tiger, nobody knows why the caged Sabertooth Tiger sings, and abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age'. Crime is totally unknown. Southern Numenor's national animal is the Sabertooth Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Iluvatar.

Southern Numenor is ranked 696^th in the world and 24^th in the South Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 13,151.37 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
