The Imperial Federation of Abardis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Emperor with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 1.755 billion Abardis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thurne. The average income tax rate is 74.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Abardi economy, worth 253 trillion Marcons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,243 Marcons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

People believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, builders across Abardis are blocked up with orders for new public loos, soldiers are equipped with multi-million Marcon battlesuits, and Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abardis's national animal is the Abardi Mountain Ibex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Old Bleuysm.

Abardis is ranked 17,566^th in the world and 138^th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 24.29 average smiles per day.
