The Democratic Confederation of ABC is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Avis Axl with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.088 billion Alphas enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verum. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Alphasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,636 trillion Unoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,235 Unoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on ABC, stern tutting by international commentators has persuaded ABC to disarm, and citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. ABC's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Alphrism.

ABC is ranked 222,592^nd in the world and 8,410^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -408.12 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
