The Democratic Republic of North Abandonia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Fredonia with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 4.877 billion Fredonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fredonia. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient North Abandonian economy, worth 606 trillion Fredons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 124,282 Fredons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Books are so highly regarded in North Abandonia that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and the decision to be oppressed is now made democratically. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Abandonia's national animal is the Fredonian Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fredoniasm.

North Abandonia is ranked 1,709^th in the world and 44^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 151.39 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
