The Merry Fellow of Iarwain Ben-adar is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tom Bombadil with a fair hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, digital currency, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.313 billion Iarwain Ben-adarians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Underhill. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The thriving Iarwain Ben-adarian economy, worth 556 trillion Times a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 66,890 Times, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 266,896 per year while the poor average 11,277, a ratio of 23.7 to 1.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, elected officials who disagree with Tom Bombadil have a lot of accidents, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime is a problem. Iarwain Ben-adar's national animal is the Tree, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Forest-folkism.

Iarwain Ben-adar is ranked 101,751^st in the world and 18^th in Ennor for Largest Black Market, with 2.40 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
