The People's Socialist Republic of Absolutus is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Presiding Speaker Santiago Silva with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 23.769 billion Absolutians 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 Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Populus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Absolutian economy, worth an astonishing 11,298 trillion Absolutian Stamps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 475,341 Absolutian Stamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people's love for Presiding Speaker Santiago Silva is little more than self-preservation, Absolutian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolutus's national animal is the Toucan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Absolutus is ranked 333,250^th in the world and 1^st in Oddearth for Highest Drug Use, scoring 0.25 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
