The Returning Status of United Adaikes is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lucas Salazar with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate population of 13.481 billion Adaik'sians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adaik's C'ntral. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Unit'd Adaik'sian economy, worth a remarkable 2,287 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,708 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The revelation that people were sexist in the past is apparently front page news, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, and people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Adaikes's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

United Adaikes is ranked 68^th in the world and 2^nd in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 162.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
