The Nonsensical Absurdity of Abject Ludicrosity is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by an Empress with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, complete lack of prisons, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.329 billion Abject Ludicrosities are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cavtat. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Abjectly Ludicrous economy, worth a remarkable 2,194 trillion Dinars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 153,161 Dinars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 675,593 per year while the poor average 21,759, a ratio of 31.0 to 1.
The Cavtat Pride Parade's head banner explains how unionizing is heteronormative, fan-made edits of old films have seen a sudden jump in quality, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Abject Ludicrosity's national animal is the Poskok, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Empress Worship.
Abject Ludicrosity is ranked 286,942nd in the world and 6th in Monarchist League for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -18.33 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
