The Republic of Absloading is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 137 million Absloadingians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Absloadingian economy, worth 4.84 trillion Kcals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,303 Kcals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears, fruit pickers with degrees in Bunny psychology are a common sight, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absloading's national animal is the Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Absloading is ranked 148,451st in the world and 1st in Breakfastia for Most Extreme, scoring 18.73 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
