The Grand Duchy of AbsAnumia is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.477 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Religion & Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, AbsAnumia's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers, students cut up leftover aanas during Arts and Crafts, and newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. AbsAnumia's national animal is the tree, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the aana.

AbsAnumia is ranked 1,452nd in Osiris and 64,046th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 1 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
