The Democratic Socialist States of Adjacentina is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Minister Adjacent with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.871 billion Adjacentians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adjacent DC. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Adjacentian economy, worth 423 trillion Jacents a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 147,438 Jacents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, afternoon delight in care homes is restricted to a serving of spotted dick at 3pm, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Adjacentina's national animal is the Adjacenapien, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Adjacentina is ranked 156,425^th in the world and 2,088^th in the South Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,117.06 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
