The Democratic Socialist States of Adjacentina is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Minister Adjacent with a fair hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 2.722 billion Adjacentians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adjacent DC. The average income tax rate is 31.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Adjacentian economy, worth 391 trillion Jacents a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 143,829 Jacents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

When it comes to flavor there's no gain without pain, reflex hammers and sickle cell research are uniform comrades, graffiti graces every city's streets, and prison visits increase substantially during election years. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Adjacentina's national animal is the Adjacenapien, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Adjacentina is ranked 51,780^th in the world and 711^th in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,908.7 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
