The Commonwealth of Silungar-Fort Abbadon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Daedalus with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.14 billion Silungarians 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 Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Abbadon. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Silungar-Fort Abbadonian economy, worth 631 trillion cogs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 152,562 cogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The only issue that Daedalus has is that there aren't enough issues (Silungar-Fort Abbadon has found 9 easter eggs), the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, and the diplomatic corps stinks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Silungar-Fort Abbadon's national animal is the Reindeer of Vaucanson, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Silungar-Fort Abbadon is ranked 284,368th in the world and 10,944th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.28 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
