The Democratic Republic of North Abandonia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Fredonia with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, aversion to nipples, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, devout population of 4.822 billion Fredonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fredonia. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient North Abandonian economy, worth 594 trillion Fredons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 123,256 Fredons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Abandonia's national animal is the Fredonian Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fredoniasm.

North Abandonia is ranked 288,872^nd in the world and 5,084^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -20.4 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
