The Armed Republic of Ardorne is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning hawk population. The quiet, industrious population of 11.44 billion Ardorneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Ardornean economy, worth 341 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,874 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ardorne's national animal is the hawk.

Ardorne is ranked 68,203^rd in the world and 1^st in World that never was for Largest Black Market, with 6.64 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
