“Et continuo, adhuc illo loquente, cantavit gallus.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Directoral Republic of Adoriania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Director Adorian with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working population of 15.978 billion Adorians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adorbourg. The average income tax rate is 90.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Adorian economy, worth a remarkable 3,056 trillion Hexagons a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 191,273 Hexagons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas", whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Adorian Embarrassments, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, and city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adoriania's national animal is the Honey Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Adoriania is ranked 197,274^th in the world and 982^nd in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
