The Islamic Republic of Tiai-Abay is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Abata Rámov with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.425 billion Abayans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seteăr. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Abayan economy, worth a remarkable 2,792 trillion Abayan ashattas a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 296,277 Abayan ashattas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 912,007 per year while the poor average 74,355, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

The new coalition government is so large nobody knows where it begins, birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, and CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tiai-Abay's national animal is the Blonde Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Abayan islam.

Tiai-Abay is ranked 33,002nd in the world and 1st in Abayan Reigon for Most Cultured, scoring 78 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
