The Lythorian Colonial Empire of Abarc is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Carlos I with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.918 billion Abarcians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brasar. The average income tax rate is 55.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Abarcian economy, worth 251 trillion Monars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,159 Monars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, and airport security is provided by private companies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abarc's national animal is the black lion tamarin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Abarc is ranked 153,332^nd in the world and 86^th in Aspen for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,670.58 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
