The Department of Abnormalities is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Volkov with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.71 billion Agents are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Installation 00. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant An Agent economy, worth 81.6 trillion Nones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 14,294 Nones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Volkov has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Installation 00 to enjoy their national art, and the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abnormalities's national animal is the None, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abnormalities is ranked 215,689^th in the world and 20^th in Northern Utopia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 47.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
