The Republic of Aberliada is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 141 million 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aberliadan economy, worth 8.68 trillion Aberian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,582 Aberian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aberliada's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aberliada is ranked 216,528^th in the world and 230^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
