The Federal Republic of Absolutum is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, national health service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 126 million Absolutumians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Absolutumian economy, worth 10.2 trillion lyrahs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. Average income is 80,599 lyrahs, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

The state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Absolutum's national animal is the August, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Absolutum is ranked 264,508^th in the world and 718^th in NationStates for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
