The Colony of Adisam is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.218 billion Adisamians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The very strong Adisamian economy, worth 555 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 67,637 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,546 per year while the poor average 15,927, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Adisam's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Adisam is ranked 162,214^th in the world and 1^st in Pozornyy for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 734.02 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
