The Republic of Adriland is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its national health service, avant-garde cinema, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.075 billion Adrilandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Adrilandian economy, worth 526 trillion marks 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. 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 an impressive 129,148 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 443,837 per year while the poor average 27,557, a ratio of 16.1 to 1.
Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Adriland City" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adriland's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Adriland is ranked 265,388th in the world and 1st in Baathist Dictators for Nicest Citizens, with 0.7 average smiles per day.
