The State of Aad is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 31.538 billion Aadians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 16.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,179 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,393 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A major religion has been named as Aad's national religion, Aad has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Aad in an international press conference, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany the Governor to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aad's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aad is ranked 221,812^th in the world and 1^st in Kingdom of Lesotho for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
