The Kingdom of Ardok is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by King Charles Byron with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working population of 5.454 billion Ardokians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Welfare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardok Central. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ardokian economy, worth a remarkable 1,089 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 199,767 Ardokian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, randomly bombing neighboring countries has become the new national sport, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and washing-up liquid looks and smells like baby poo. 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 United Church of Ardok.

Ardok is ranked 2,558^th in the world and 108^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 8,360.79 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
