The Republic of Southern Numenor is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Elros Tar-Minyatur with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.678 billion Southern Numenorians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armenolos. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Southern Numenorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,441 trillion Castars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 252,293 Castars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shopping comes bagged and tagged, the state believes that nature-oriented summer camps will somehow solve youth crime, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Castar mansions, and Elros Tar-Minyatur's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime is totally unknown. Southern Numenor's national animal is the Sabertooth Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Iluvatar.

Southern Numenor is ranked 269,507^th in the world and 12,616^th in the South Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.39 crimes per hour.
