The Republic of Absoraki is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Alekzander Nekovi with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 9.285 billion Absorakians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barristown. The average income tax rate is 75.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Absorakian economy, worth a remarkable 1,574 trillion Haets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 169,523 Haets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Absorakians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, Alekzander Nekovi's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, elections have been outlawed, and virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absoraki's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.
Absoraki is ranked 128,329th in the world and 36th in North America for Safest, scoring 69.35 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
