The Free Land of Abigail is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 9.057 billion Abigailians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.6%.

The strong Abigailian economy, worth 644 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,134 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 206,907 per year while the poor average 19,346, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abigail's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Abigail is ranked 79,845^th in the world and 2^nd in Serenity for Largest Populations, with 9.06 billion capita.
