The Rogue Nation of Abalathia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sonic the god damn Hedgehog with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.443 billion Abalathians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deep Dark Dreadful Crevace of Doom. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Abalathian economy, worth 78.2 trillion flakes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 31,989 flakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Being Sonic the god damn Hedgehog has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime is totally unknown. Abalathia's national animal is the floating sinister hand, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abalathia is ranked 297,741st in the world and 1,663rd in the Outback for Most Developed, scoring 45.24 on the Human Development Index.
