The Jingoistic States of Abyssal Madness is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Mad Max with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enforced nudity, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 22.208 billion Abyssal Madnessians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abyss. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Abyssal Madnessian economy, worth 52.3 trillion Pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Furniture Restoration industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 2,355 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public nudity is compulsory, Abyssal Madness has designated Abyss as its capital city, Mad Max has just been declared ruler of Abyssal Madness in an international press conference, and Madness has been named as Abyssal Madness's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abyssal Madness's national animal is the trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Madness.

Abyssal Madness is ranked 63rd in the world and 1st in Carnival of Souls for Most Authoritarian, with 14,551.92 milliStalins.
