Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Emirate of Aberzanthia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King Snarfra with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 11.41 billion Aberzanthians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lhughoz. The average income tax rate is 66.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Aberzanthian economy, worth a remarkable 1,527 trillion tyarns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 133,912 tyarns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, urbanites are banned from bucolic settings for safety concerns, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aberzanthia's national animal is the aurochs, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Esoteric Midorism.

Aberzanthia is ranked 15,135^th in the world and 279^th in the Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 102 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
