The Ivory Tower of Adantine is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Erenel Elkentar with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 9.006 billion Adanti are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adamant. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Adantian economy, worth a remarkable 1,700 trillion Hand-made Baskets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 188,805 Hand-made Baskets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Erenel Elkentar's hair, ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adantine's national animal is the друг, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Elkentarim.

Adantine is ranked 13,021^st in the world and 341^st in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 136.81 kickbacks per hour.
