OverviewFactbookPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The United Republic of Abalucia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Victoria Hershall with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 12.219 billion Abalucians 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 enormous, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drayton. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Abalucian economy, worth a remarkable 1,839 trillion Merits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 150,540 Merits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, too many developers spoil the codebase, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and comedians who make offensive jokes have their ticket proceeds seized. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abalucia's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Senalism.

Abalucia is ranked 4,852nd in the world and 119th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 161 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
