The Republic of Abtracnt is a titanic, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 22.95 billion Abtracntics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardentia. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Abtracntic economy, worth a remarkable 1,585 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,073 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The ABI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, and scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abtracnt's national animal is the Abtracntian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abtracnt is ranked 324,061^st in the world and 4,058^th in The East Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -12.13 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
