The Awakening of Abbad is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning tiger population. The hard-nosed population of 25.043 billion Abbadians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 13.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Abbadian economy, worth 685 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,387 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, punitive tariffs protect local industry, tigers are considered a delicacy, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Abbad's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Abbad is ranked 236,988^th in the world and 1^st in House Archelius for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
