The Supreme Imperium of Absentius is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Imperator Domine Maximus Flavius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.909 billion Absentines are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abscention. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Absentiusian economy, worth a remarkable 3,305 trillion Aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 333,626 Aureuses, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.
Contestants on Absentius's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, the Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, and ceremonial zweihänders are used in holy rituals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absentius's national animal is the Imperial Golden Sky Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Faith of the Pentarchy.
Absentius is ranked 167,605th in the world and 3rd in Berytus for Most Stationary, with 107.88213928872 days.
