The People's Republic of Abelvarin is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 79 million Abelvarinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Abelvarinian economy, worth 2.44 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 30,920 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, raccoons are plump and satiated, and both criminals and civilians are DOA. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abelvarin's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abelvarin is ranked 218,418^th in the world and 3,379^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.82 Obesity Rate.
