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

The Republic of Abyssal Anchorage is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 660 million Abyssal Anchorageans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abyssia. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Abyssal Anchoragean economy, worth 59.3 trillion Abyssal Credits a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,861 Abyssal Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abyssal Anchorage's national animal is the pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Abyssal Anchorage is ranked 54,324^th in the world and 576^th in the Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 21.66 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
