The Republic of St Abyss is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.257 billion Hellas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlanta. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellenic economy, worth 468 trillion Terrors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 109,963 Terrors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The official Hellenic Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Abyss's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

St Abyss is ranked 23,330^th in the world and 26^th in Cape of Good Hope for Safest, scoring 112.32 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
