The Coserly Romanish Kingric of Absulace is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ęschere Frost with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.356 billion Absulaceans 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Absulacean economy, worth 763 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 142,622 pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 719,205 per year while the poor average 15,768, a ratio of 45.6 to 1.

Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, and it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absulace's national animal is the red panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gnosticism.

Absulace is ranked 319,246th in the world and 38th in Magna Aurea for Nicest Citizens, with 0.6 average smiles per day.
