The Empire of Adalida is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.273 billion Adalidans 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 36.0%.

The strong Adalidan economy, worth 196 trillion Chesapeakes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 45,889 Chesapeakes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and Leader can cry on demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adalida's national animal is the Texas Longhorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Adalida is ranked 245,482^nd in the world and 6^th in Chesapeake for Largest Black Market, with 204 billion Standard Monetary Units.
