The Republic of Abtracnt is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 22.9 billion Abtracntics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardentia. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Abtracntic economy, worth a remarkable 1,576 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Tourism industry. Average income is 68,854 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The ABI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, and scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abtracnt's national animal is the Abtracntian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abtracnt is ranked 308,103^rd in the world and 4,094^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -17.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
