The Republic of Adamsia was founded on the shores of Massachusetts Bay by the Puritans as a new Zion, as a 
theocratic utopia in the wilderness of New England. Adamsia has a culture that emphasizes duty, and stresses the good of the 
community even if (and especially if) it requires individual self-abnegation. The majority of Puritan settlers in early Adamsians 
were educated to some degree; as such, Adamsian culture has a generally "bourgeois" ethos and immense respect for 
intellectual achievement. While in modern times, religiosity and spirituality has waned somewhat, the zealous drive to achieve 
social and moral perfection has oft been labeled as "secular Puritanism" by detractors.
