The Tropical Republic of Abalzaneg is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 19.554 billion Bananaramas are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Abalzanegian economy, worth 519 trillion Coconuts 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 26,578 Coconuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, nudity is frowned upon, the government is cracking down on subversive groups, and popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abalzaneg's national animal is the Long snout Banana.

Abalzaneg is ranked 297,576^th in the world and 10^th in The Savage Garden for Highest Average Incomes, with 26,578.66 Standard Monetary Units.
