The Empire of Abyrkinia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Aethyll Freyre with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 18.617 billion Abyrkii 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freywynne. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.
The all-consuming Abyrkinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,408 trillion Qrusoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,379 Qrusoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles distance from the National Science Park, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, and fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abyrkinia's national animal is the Quadukkeora, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Abyrkinia is ranked 7,377th in the world and 1st in Pluviostan for Highest Food Quality, scoring 181.13 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
