The Communist Republic of Addy and Arielle is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Addy with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 4.17 billion Addyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Addy City. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Addyist economy, worth 114 trillion dollars 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, highly specialized black market in Retail, Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 27,399 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Addy and Arielle's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Addyism.

Addy and Arielle is ranked 265,476^th in the world and 13^th in Freely Guads for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.85 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
