The New Eagle And Navian Imperia of Ardentiana is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Empress Maria Buona Beriataham with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 2.263 billion Ardentianans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Vista. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ardentianan economy, worth 258 trillion Calatarians a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,085 Calatarians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ardentiana's national animal is the Ardentiana Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Ardentiana is ranked 5,450^th in the world and 112^th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 59.47 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
