The Parliamentary Monarchy of Abbeyverne is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Josephus XII with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.859 billion Abbeyverninans 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 government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abbeyverne Castle. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Abbeyvernean economy, worth 171 trillion Shillings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 92,289 Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, you can get married in sickness and in health but not internationally, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abbeyverne's national animal is the Red Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Abbeyverne is ranked 182,753^rd in the world and 53^rd in Grand Abbeyverne Republic for Fattest Citizens, with 8.95 Obesity Rate.
