The Republic of Southern Numenor is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Elros Tar-Minyatur with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.944 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 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 4,039 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 reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 289,714 Castars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, the fattest folk in Southern Numenor look to be the happiest ones, the official Southern Numenorian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and political spontaneity takes a lot of planning. 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 285,210^th in the world and 5,230^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.31 flags saluted per person per day.
