The State of Abihud is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.587 billion Abihudians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The thriving Abihudian economy, worth a remarkable 1,072 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 78,900 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 279,281 per year while the poor average 16,094, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, Abihud's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, Abihud has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Abihud in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Abihud's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Abihud is ranked 281,602nd in the world and 679th in 0000 for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -14.14 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
