(from AdyLand's Factbook, Nov 13)
Formed as a Left-Wing Utopia, The Empire of AdyLand has been a NationState since 13th September 2014, when it joined the Democratic Socialist Assembly, only to be transferred to the New Warsaw Pact a couple of days later. The capital city of AdyLand is Angelopolis.
Throughout the process of being a NationState; AdyLand was a Left-Wing Utopia, Democratic Socialist, Corrupt Dictatorship, a Father Knows Best State, Corrupt Dictatorship again, a Father Knows Best State again, an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy, and then a Capitalist Paradise. Now, AdyLand is a Inoffensive Centrist Democracy once again. Oh wait, now it's a Capitalist Paradise again. Wait, New York Times Democracy? What the hell does that even mean? Never mind, it's the bland old Inoffensive Centrist Democracy again. No, New York Times Democracy. Oooh, now a Corporate Bordello! No, New York Times Democracy again....
AdyLand's total land area is 1,886,000 km². (same as Sudan's, for comparison)
