The One Above All of Ardelburg is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Leonhart with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.759 billion Burgueses are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Elysium. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.7%.

The frighteningly efficient ArdelBurg economy, worth 245 trillion Dollar Bourgueses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 139,320 Dollar Bourgueses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 570,645 per year while the poor average 22,488, a ratio of 25.4 to 1.

Open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, and foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade ArdelBurg Moonshine". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ardelburg's national animal is the Gallant Noble, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Bourgeois Elitist Catholicism.

Ardelburg is ranked 163,461^st in the world and 161^st in The Sacred Elite for Fattest Citizens, with 9.81 Obesity Rate.
