The United Provincial States of Aberliada is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by David Evans with an even hand, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.599 billion Aberliadans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hollnliada. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aberliadan economy, worth 129 trillion Aberian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,232 Aberian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Women wearing male lounge-wear are quizzed for hours by mental health practitioners, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, international trade can be a pain to deal with, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aberliada's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aberianism.

Aberliada is ranked 209,911^th in the world and 125^th in Christians for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 661.29 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
