The Republic of Adritry is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Cleo Gibson with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 924 million Adritryians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.8%.

The powerhouse Adritryian economy, worth 69.1 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 74,762 florins, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, babysitters are a thing of the past, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with Cleo Gibson. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adritry's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Adritry is ranked 133,144^th in the world and 2,599^th in Two for Nudest, with 144 cheeks per square mile.
