The Commonwealth of St Adricsburg is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Adric with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.305 billion St Adricsburgers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mondas. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient St Adricsburgese economy, worth a remarkable 2,490 trillion jetons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 122,675 jetons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Adricsburg's national animal is the Sontaran, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

St Adricsburg is ranked 3,173^rd in the world and 119^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 17,960.8 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
