The Republic of Abudzan is a mid-sized, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 87 million Abudzanians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.0%.

The very strong Abudzanian economy, worth 5.40 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 62,080 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 183,769 per year while the poor average 16,472, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, organ donation is compulsory, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Abudzan's national animal is the sea lion, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Abudzan is ranked 314,117^th in the world and 2^nd in Anarchic Lands for Largest Black Market, with 6.00 billion Standard Monetary Units.
