The Republic of Southern Numenor is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elros Tar-Minyatur with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.965 billion Southern Numenorians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armenolos. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Southern Numenorian economy, worth a remarkable 6,253 trillion Castars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 329,746 Castars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, and airplane passenger seat sizes and ticket prices are both first-class. Crime is totally unknown. Southern Numenor's national animal is the Sabertooth Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Iluvatar.

Southern Numenor is ranked 338^th in the world and 12^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 99.48 on the Human Development Index.
