The Disaster of Absolia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 8.123 billion Absolians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Absolian economy, worth 331 trillion pokecoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Cheese Exports, Information Technology, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 40,869 pokecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and you're only as old as you feel. Crime is well under control. Absolia's national animal is the Absol.

Absolia is ranked 177,543rd in the world and 4,457th in Suspicious for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
