The People's Socialist Republic of Absolutus

“Where there lives a worker there lives a nation”

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

The People's Socialist Republic of Absolutus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Presiding Speaker Santiago Silva with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 18.524 billion Absolutians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antro. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Absolutian economy, worth a remarkable 8,084 trillion Absolutian Stamps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 436,450 Absolutian Stamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, ghost regiments exist only on paper, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolutus's national animal is the Toucan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Absolutus is ranked 292,839^th in the world and 7,170^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -1293.06 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
