The Free Land of Abide is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Great Lord Charles with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, enforced nudity, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 7.68 billion Abideans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abide Inlet. The average income tax rate is 50.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Abidean economy, worth 258 trillion Pennies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,663 Pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, male politicians lose their jobs for staring too long at their female counterparts, and producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abide's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Abiding.

Abide is ranked 24,171^st in the world and 30^th in Philosophers for Most Beautiful Environments, with 924.25 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
