The Fallen Comrade of Absurania is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ritual sacrifices, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.009 billion Absuranians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Absur City. The average income tax rate is 34.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Absuranian economy, worth 307 trillion Emircoins 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 102,064 Emircoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, glamping Absuranians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and the Absur City State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absurania's national animal is the Abs, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Absurania is ranked 320,549^th in the world and 8^th in New Ixnay for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.73 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
