The Eternal Dominion of Aderius is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Imperator-Marshal Dyrusen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.264 billion Aderians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krucerus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.2%.

The strong Aderian economy, worth 494 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 93,903 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,062 per year while the poor average 20,971, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

New arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aderius's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Aderius is ranked 199,950^th in the world and 9^th in Astoria for Highest Poor Incomes, with 20,971.21 Standard Monetary Units.
