The Guardian of the Temple of Ablem is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Snake population. The hard-working population of 1.858 billion Ablemians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ablemian economy, worth 70.7 trillion Golds a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 38,028 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ablem's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ablem is ranked 134,586^th in the world and 25^th in Illuminati Empire for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,118.65 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
