The Kingdom of Abetton is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King Latimer with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.416 billion Abettonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sauville. The average income tax rate is 63.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Abettonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,152 trillion Abetton florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,956 Abetton florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
Delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, sports club owners are having a moneyball, immigrants who don't like the taste of Abettonian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abetton's national animal is the Stallion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Abetton Polytheism.
Abetton is ranked 328,977th in the world and 60th in Greater Dienstad for Nicest Citizens, with 0.41 average smiles per day.
