The Queendom of Adalene is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The cynical population of 5.908 billion Adaleneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Adalenean economy, worth 199 trillion docs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,731 docs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses that prove successful are immediately broken up, movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens, the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adalene's national animal is the Wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Adalene is ranked 90,157^th in the world and 4,748^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
