The Agrarian Republic of Adastra is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.201 billion Adastrans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vigil. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Adastran economy, worth 258 trillion Adastran Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,632 Adastran Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 245,942 per year while the poor average 20,503, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Parents are fined for sending their children to take out the trash after sunset, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came, and exploding toys that leak battery acid are back in the shops after the government declared child safety 'over-rated'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adastra's national animal is the Zubron, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Adastra is ranked 85,091st in the world and 1st in Distant Worlds for Most Stationary, with 550.82883496932 days.
