The Mordaur Dynasty of Adriatic Democratic Empire is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.198 billion Adriatic Democratic Empireans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adrianople. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Adriatic Democratic Empirean economy, worth 703 trillion Necronites 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. 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 97,751 Necronites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, and innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adriatic Democratic Empire's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Ctan.

Adriatic Democratic Empire is ranked 32,947th in the world and 24th in Hell for Most Developed, scoring 81.81 on the Human Development Index.
