The Grand Duchy of Absovenya is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Grand Duchess Lijorula with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 4.232 billion Absovi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volkübjurg. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Absov economy, worth 376 trillion Міdjíns a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,882 Міdjíns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lending money has become a major liability, many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and most ambassadors from Absovenya retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absovenya's national animal is the Absov Nightingale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Absovenya is ranked 112,328th in the world and 49th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,354.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
