The Borderlands of Ardok is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Anthony Lecter with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.028 billion Ardokians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suhl. The average income tax rate is 91.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ardokian economy, worth 335 trillion Ardokian Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 165,379 Ardokian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, generals have trouble barking orders over the sound of thundering artillery, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ardok's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ardok is ranked 304,588th in the world and 5,539th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -359.09 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
