The People's Socialist Republic of Absolutus is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Presiding Speaker Santiago Silva with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 18.519 billion Absolutians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antro. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Absolutian economy, worth a remarkable 8,082 trillion Absolutian Stamps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 436,451 Absolutian Stamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Antro Film Festival recently voted 'Absolutian Getting Hit By Football' as best film, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, ghost regiments exist only on paper, and welfare funding has recently gone through the roof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolutus's national animal is the Toucan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Absolutus is ranked 293,363^rd in the world and 7,197^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -31.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
