Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Abarastan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 11.419 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Euthanasia is legal, untold millions of abarastan ducats are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime is totally unknown. Abarastan's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the abarastan ducat.

Abarastan is ranked 173rd in Lazarus and 8,938th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 178 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
