The Concordate of Abcariare is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by High Steward Marcellion Draeve with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 3.614 billion Abcarites are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Klyros. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Abcariarean economy, worth 651 trillion lumens a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,070 lumens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The musical cognoscenti insist the national anthem just isn't the same without a double contrabass flute, students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, concussed whooping craneball players cannot remember their lineup position, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abcariare's national animal is the whooping crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Concordis.

Abcariare is ranked 5,940^th in the world and 69^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Poor Incomes, with 156,081.01 Standard Monetary Units.
