The State of Abiud is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 30.599 billion Abiudians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The enormous, liberal, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Welfare and Law & Order not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.2%.

The thriving Abiudian economy, worth 533 trillion betales a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 17,428 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 53,240 per year while the poor average 4,422, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and Abiud has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Abiud's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abiud is ranked 191,006^th in the world and 1^st in Republic of Ethiopia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
