The United Socialist States of Abcdef is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 36 million Abcdefians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The imploded Abcdefian economy, worth 253 billion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 7,029 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People boast about their low income on their dating profiles, a nation-wide cull of bisons is in effect, the government is reining in public spending, and the police insist that racism does not exist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abcdef's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abcdef is ranked 136,984^th in the world and 7,300^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 28.77 quips per hour.
