The Republic of Abansky is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, zero percent divorce rate, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 996 million Abanskyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.0%.

The all-consuming Abanskyian economy, worth 76.1 trillion Ducats a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,373 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Abanskyian politicians, flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, and police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abansky's national animal is the Bear.

Abansky is ranked 311,283^rd in the world and 796^th in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -8.76 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
