Ardmore is a small sub-archipelago within the [[Ardmori Isles]], an archipelago in the [[Odoneru Ocean]] that is located off the southwestern coast of mainland [[Levantia]]. The small sub-archipelago that makes up Ardmore consists of [[Great Ardmore]], which is the largest island of both Ardmore and the Ardmori Isles and is home to the vast majority of Ardmore's population, and four small peripheral islands that surround Great Ardmore. To its east is the [[Mirana Sound]] which is sheltered by the Ardmori Isles. The four smaller islands each have names of their own, the most well-known of these names being ænglicizations of their Garán Gaelic names. The largest of the peripheral islands is named [[Beremore]] (''Béaramór''; "Big Bear"), and to its southeast is [[Bofinemore]] (''Bófinemór''; "Big Cow") which is the second-largest of the peripheral islands. The smallest two peripheral islands are closer to mainland Levantia which, respectively, are named [[Valentia]] (Ballentia; ''Béilinse''; "Mouth Island") and [[Inisharan]] (''Inisárain''; "Kidney Island"). | Ardmore is a small sub-archipelago within the [[Ardmori Isles]], an archipelago in the [[Odoneru Ocean]] that is located off the southwestern coast of mainland [[Levantia]].

The sub-archipelago comprises just over 73,270.76km<sup>2</sup> in land area. Being a nation that solely consists of islands, Ardmore's geography is almost entirely just above sea level, with the sole exception being on Great Ardmore which has Ardmore's only mountain and highest point [[Mount Mac Shuibhne]], named in honor of Ardmore's first post-Civil War leader [[Ardghar Mac Shuibhne]]. Asides from being home to Ardmore's only mountain, Great Ardmore is home to a few hills which are presently unnamed due to their lack of notability compared to Mount Mac Shuibhne. None of the peripheral islands have any hills or mountains that are of note. | The sub-archipelago comprises just over 73,270.76km<sup>2</sup> in land area.

The government of Ardmore functions as a {{wp|unitary}} {{wp|parliamentary republic}} under a {{wp|syndicalism|syndicalist}} {{wp|dominant-party system}} governed by the [[Popular Left Coalition]], itself governed by the [[Co-operative Party of Ardmore]] (formerly the [[Syndicalist Party of Ardmore|Syndicalist Party]] before 2000). The Ardmori political structure is based upon the fundamental principles of {{wp|cooperative|cooperative ownership}}, {{wp|direct democracy}}, and {{wp|workers' self-management|workers' control of the means of production}}. These principles line up with the [[Constitution of Ardmore|constitution]]'s adherence to the principles of {{wp|syndicalism}} which has officially governed Ardmore since 1931; syndicalism decentralizes economic and political power into the hands of autonomous cooperatives. These cooperatives, whether they be a workers' cooperative or a community cooperative, serve as the foundational baseline for local governance in both the realms of politics and economics within Ardmore. Since 2000, the Ardmori political sphere has opened as the country moves away from its revolutionary phase and begins to establish formal diplomatic relations with non-socialist countries; the nation's {{wp|head of state}} since that year is the [[President of Ardmore]] who serves a {{wp|titular leader|ceremonial role}} with no powers and instead serves an exclusively diplomatic role. | The government of Ardmore functions as a {{wp|unitary}} {{wp|parliamentary republic}} under a {{wp|syndicalism|syndicalist}} {{wp|dominant-party system}} governed by the [[Popular Left Coalition]], itself governed by the [[Co-operative Party of Ardmore]] (formerly the [[Syndicalist Party of Ardmore|Syndicalist Party]] before 2000).

With a population of 18,276,501 in the 2034 census, which is an increase of 6% over the past five years since the 2029 census, Ardmore's birthrate far exceeds its immigration rate with 5.72 births per woman on average every five years. In 2034, more than 1,096,000 live births have occurred compared to 556,696 in deaths, while immigration to the country has only accounted for 0.4% of the total population growth. Historically, this high birthrate has existed since the 1970s. The average life expectancy for men in Ardmore is 80.2 years, while for women it is 84.5 years. The median age for Ardmore in 2034 was 25.5 years, which was a decrease from the median age of 28.2 years in 2029. A stable economy with a robust and easily accessible universal healthcare system has allowed for the high birthrate to happen without a need for immigration; detractors, however, have claimed that immigration rates are low due to tight border controls which were not relaxed until the year 2000. | With a population of 18,276,501 in the 2034 census, which is an increase of 6% over the past five years since the 2029 census, Ardmore's birthrate far exceeds its immigration rate with 5.72 births per woman on average every five years.
