The Abbasiyah Republic of Hudson Straits is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Ante Marković with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.814 billion Yugoslavs are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Industry receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belgrade. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The very strong Yugoslavian economy, worth 296 trillion Yugoslav Dinar дRSDs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 61,604 Yugoslav Dinar дRSDs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,058 per year while the poor average 11,559, a ratio of 19.9 to 1.

Polite commuters on the Belgrade Metro always let hurried workers off the train first, six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, Eurasian Wolves that venture near secret military bases are shipped off to prison for espionage, and the nation's secret service is so secret that nobody knows if it has one. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hudson Straits's national animal is the Eurasian Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secular State.

Hudson Straits is ranked 138,146^th in the world and 80^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Developed, scoring 56.63 on the Human Development Index.
