The Concordate of Abcariare is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by High Steward Marcellion Draeve with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.067 billion Abcarites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Klyros. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Abcariarean economy, worth 506 trillion lumens a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,195 lumens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When you fly on Air Abcariare you win a seat or you die, conspiracy theorists allege Klyros's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells. 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 98,489^th in the world and 164^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,610.68 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
