The Ancient Secret Society of Abreddey is a massive, devout nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.277 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Glorius Jewel. The average income tax rate is 81%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail industries.

Prospective parents are cheering on the streets as they no longer need a license to have children, business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and the study of medicine is popular throughout Abreddey. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Abreddey's national animal is the Sidehill Gouger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is the Illuminati Order, and its currency is the Beetain Dollar.

Abreddey is ranked 1,198th in Osiris and 72,771st in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 13 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
