The Kingdom of Adaranthia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Pino Noye with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, compulsory gun ownership, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.379 billion Adaranthians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heblag. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Adaranthian economy, worth a remarkable 4,630 trillion Adars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 346,095 Adars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,046,554 per year while the poor average 5,739, a ratio of 530 to 1.

Owners of man-portable particle accelerator backpacks are advised not to cross the streams, Pino Noye can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, and the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Adaranthia's national animal is the Adaranthian Goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Adaranthian Catholic.

Adaranthia is ranked 285,840^th in the world and 4,048^th in the Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.7 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
