The Promised Land of Addis Ababa is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, disturbing lack of elderly people, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 31.49 billion Addis Ababans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Addis Ababa. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Addis Ababan economy, worth a remarkable 3,158 trillion birrs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 100,294 birrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and Addis Ababa successfully hosted the Osiris Olympics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Addis Ababa's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Addis Ababa is ranked 233,488th in the world and 6,993rd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 23.20951292368 days.
