The Lythorian Colonial Empire of Abarc is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Carlos I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.895 billion Abarcians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brasar. The average income tax rate is 53.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Abarcian economy, worth 249 trillion Monars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,735 Monars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, Abarc has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, and the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abarc's national animal is the black lion tamarin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Abarc is ranked 33,698^th in the world and 11^th in Aspen for Highest Average Incomes, with 131,735.25 Standard Monetary Units.
