The Federation of Abyssaly is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 639 million Abyssalyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abyssal'Um. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Abyssalyian economy, worth 80.7 trillion Ibysses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,365 Ibysses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 480,333 per year while the poor average 23,051, a ratio of 20.8 to 1.

Abyssalyians have become death, the destroyer of worlds, rural Abyssalyians stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred, and corporations have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abyssaly's national animal is the Species 8472, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Abyssaly is ranked 277,495^th in the world and 820^th in Concord for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.21 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
