The Council Republic of The AbelLandia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Taco Schmidt with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and digital currency. The compassionate, devout population of 1.141 billion AbelLandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded 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 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming AbelLandian economy, worth 157 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 137,617 Schurfies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Concussed Lionball players cannot remember their lineup position, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of The AbelLandia's radio stations, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and there are fifty shades of yellow in outdoor swimming pools. 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 17,205^th in the world and 363^rd in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 126.4 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
