The Empire of Abdopolis is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 29 million Abdopolisians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.1%.

The Abdopolisian economy, worth 1.51 trillion Abdollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 52,075 Abdollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abdopolis's national animal is the Human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Abdopolis is ranked 292,409^th in the world and 9^th in Paradise Everywhere for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
