“Before creation there must be destruction”

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

The Republic of Fica Abs is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.491 billion Fica Absians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 24.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Fica Absian economy, worth 311 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 69,434 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Fica Abs Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, voting is compulsory, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Fica Abs's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Fica Abs is ranked 122,252^nd in the world and 4^th in United States of Euphemia li Brittania for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
