The Communist dictator kingdom of Abhistan is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Generalissimus Abhijit Parmar with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 16.983 billion Abhistanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amakazi. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Abhistanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,701 trillion Soviet Rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Arms Manufacturing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,205 Soviet Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, and people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abhistan's national animal is the Black Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Greek mythology.

Abhistan is ranked 24,661^st in the world and 1,407^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 85 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
