Details

The Republic of Adam Island is a tiny, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million 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 small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Social Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Adam Island's national animal is the Llama, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Jay.
