The Holy Black Dragon of Ardonii is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Achillean Nestoris with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 1.08 billion Ardonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crown Peak. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ardonian economy, worth 189 trillion Irish golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 175,269 Irish golds, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crown Peak's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, there is something rotten in the state of Ardonii, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ardonii's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is -currently empty-.

Ardonii is ranked 9,975^th in the world and 487^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,898.19 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
