The Republic of ABC123 88 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working population of 9.354 billion ABC123 88ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.5%.
The very strong ABC123 88ian economy, worth 550 trillion egvervs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,872 egvervs, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.
Agricultural employees work for peanuts, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, and a major religion has been named as ABC123 88's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ABC123 88's national animal is the erbwre, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
ABC123 88 is ranked 121,760th in the world and 2,097th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 7.26 kickbacks per hour.
