The Republic of Abtracnt

“Hope springs from the ashes”

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

The Republic of Abtracnt is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.033 billion Abtracntics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardentia. The average income tax rate is 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Abtracntic economy, worth 843 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Tourism industry. Average income is 60,109 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, sex changes are routinely performed at Abtracnt's hospitals, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abtracnt's national animal is the Abtracntian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abtracnt is ranked 228,148^th in the world and 8,629^th in The East Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -7.35 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
