The Republic of Southern Numenor is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Elros Tar-Minyatur with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.987 billion Southern Numenorians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armenolos. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Southern Numenorian economy, worth a remarkable 6,271 trillion Castars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 330,279 Castars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, and pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy. Crime is totally unknown. Southern Numenor's national animal is the Sabertooth Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Iluvatar.

Southern Numenor is ranked 311,299^th in the world and 4,166^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -49.04 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
