The Republic of A3OB is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 16 million A3OBians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The strong A3OBian economy, worth 1.04 trillion hryvnias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 65,194 hryvnias, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, surveillance cameras are banned, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and blue bloods are welcome in A3OB. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. A3OB's national animal is the horse.

A3OB is ranked 35,916^th in the world and 5^th in Ukraine for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,949.73 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
