The State of Abfar is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 40.179 billion Abfarians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion Heights. The average income tax rate is 9.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Abfarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,690 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,070 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, gambling is outlawed, Abfar has designated Dominion Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Abfar in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Abfar's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Abfar is ranked 204,494^th in the world and 1^st in Abfar for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 53.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
