The Regime of Absolute Measure is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Administrator with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, soft-spoken computers, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.544 billion Mensurans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mensur. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mensuran economy, worth 404 trillion Standard Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 158,625 Standard Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, and knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute Measure's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Absolute Measure is ranked 209,478^th in the world and 73^rd in Aeternas for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 644.47 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
