The Council Republic of The AbelLandia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Taco Schmidt with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.197 billion AbelLandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rotterdam. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient AbelLandian economy, worth 164 trillion Schurfies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 137,710 Schurfies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', people who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, and anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The AbelLandia's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

The AbelLandia is ranked 22,275^th in the world and 338^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 263.68 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
