The Republic of Adambar48 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 3.653 billion Adambar48ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palestine. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Adambar48ian economy, worth 320 trillion Palestinian Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 87,643 Palestinian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, and photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adambar48's national animal is the Palestinian Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Adambar48 is ranked 18,764^th in the world and 321^st in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,068.82 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
