The Dictatorship of Abelnesia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10 million Abelnesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.1%.

The strong Abelnesian economy, worth 484 billion abollaars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 48,466 abollaars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, military spending recently hit a new high, organ donation rates have hit a new low, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Abelnesia's national animal is the snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abelnesia is ranked 215,982^nd in the world and 738^th in NationStates for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 47.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
