The Republic of Abassyia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Omar Tariq al-Farouq with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 13.628 billion Abassyians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madinatussalam. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Abassyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,379 trillion Ais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,588 Ais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, snap elections are called over every minor impasse, the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime is totally unknown. Abassyia's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Abassyia is ranked 121,287^th in the world and 15^th in United Nations for Most Extreme, scoring 21.52 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
