The Colony of South Ardonii is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.124 billion South Ardonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cappadocia. The average income tax rate is 20.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong South Ardoniian economy, worth 89.8 trillion Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,878 Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Ardonii's national animal is the Ender Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

South Ardonii is ranked 73,947^th in the world and 1,767^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,507.18 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
