The Republic of Ardakoth is a very large, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 380 million Ardakothans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ardakothan economy, worth 22.6 trillion Ardakothan Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 59,534 Ardakothan Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, there is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship, and new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ardakoth's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ardakoth is ranked 49,029^th in the world and 626^th in The East Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,981.96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
