The Islamic Sultanate of Southern Abbiyah is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme General Sultan Mohamed Redha with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.366 billion Abbayans 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abbayanin. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Southern Abbiyahian economy, worth a remarkable 2,020 trillion Dirahfs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 317,345 Dirahfs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southern Abbiyah's national animal is the Abbiyan Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Islam.

Southern Abbiyah is ranked 288,851^st in the world and 20^th in Islam for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -12.6 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
