Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Principality of Abbey-Anumia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning black cat population. Its compassionate population of 3.499 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, the government has legalised small-scale capitalism, and anyone who doesn't attend Official Governmental Religious Services is fined. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abbey-Anumia's national animal is the black cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the anum.

Abbey-Anumia is ranked 22nd in Imperial Britain and 70,713th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
