The Commonwealth of Aberllyn is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12 million Aberllynians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The thriving Aberllynian economy, worth 893 billion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 74,491 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 263,676 per year while the poor average 15,194, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aberllyn's national animal is the kiwi, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Aberllyn is ranked 129,805^th in the world and 5^th in Circumference for Most Developed, scoring 57.49 on the Human Development Index.
