The Democratic Republic of North Abandonia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Fredonia with an iron fist, and renowned for its fear of technology, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.871 billion Fredonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

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 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient North Abandonian economy, worth 603 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 123,985 Fredons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, being impolite in public is punishable by heavy fines, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, and genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons. 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 105,150^th in the world and 925^th in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 4.87 billion capita.
