The Republic of Abongo is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.852 billion Abongoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 60.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Abongoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,690 trillion 9003s a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 190,992 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

A positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Abongo's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abongo is ranked 137,314^th in the world and 1^st in abuse for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
