The Kingdom of Abrinier is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.043 billion Abrinierians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Betvet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Abrinierian economy, worth 77.0 trillion Orginan Chervonets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 73,828 Orginan Chervonets, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, interest in globalism never flags, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, and buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abrinier's national animal is the Square toad, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Abrinier is ranked 264,037^th in the world and 5^th in Bepis for Smartest Citizens, with 20.11 quips per hour.
