The Holy Empire of Adam Ragusea is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Adam Ragusea with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.158 billion Raguseans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Knoxville. The average income tax rate is 33.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Maconian economy, worth a remarkable 1,739 trillion white wines a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 213,259 white wines, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

The health budget has been diverted into prolonging Adam Ragusea's life, public urination is on the increase, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, and too many hyper-intelligent chefs can spoil the allegorical broth. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Adam Ragusea's national animal is the baby sloth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Adam Ragusea is ranked 169,735^th in the world and 1^st in Maconia for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,379.54 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
