The Republic of Abtracnt is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.78 billion Abtracntics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardentia. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Abtracntic economy, worth a remarkable 1,235 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,493 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem, the newest shade developed by Abtracnt's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', and politicians can be seen taking candy from babies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abtracnt's national animal is the Abtracntian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abtracnt is ranked 283,376^th in the world and 5,055^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
