The Riemstagrad Warfare Dept of ABBL02 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Riemstagrad with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.205 billion ABBL02ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leopoldsburg. The average income tax rate is 8.7%.

The frighteningly efficient ABBL02ian economy, worth a remarkable 5,223 trillion franks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,383 franks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Riemstagrad's credibility no favours, and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ABBL02's national animal is the leeuw, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Riemstisme.

ABBL02 is ranked 25,784^th in the world and 1,841^st in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.4 law-abiding acts per hour.
