The Forgotten Paradise of Ardonii is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Achillean Nestoris with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, flagrant waste-dumping, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 1.34 billion Ardonians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt 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 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ardonian economy, worth 248 trillion Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 185,330 Sterlings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 547,803 per year while the poor average 49,278, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", the line of royal succession just experienced a hardware interrupt, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, and children have lost interest in toy guns in favor of toy meth lab kits. 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 Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is -currently empty-.

Ardonii is ranked 155,381^st in the world and 7,692^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 406.2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
