The Federation of Abyssaly is a huge, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, avowedly heterosexual populace, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 681 million Abyssalyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abyssal'Um. The average income tax rate is 43.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Abyssalyian economy, worth 84.0 trillion Ibysses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,420 Ibysses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Abyssalyians have become death, the destroyer of worlds, rural Abyssalyians stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred, and corporations have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abyssaly's national animal is the Species 8472, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Abyssaly is ranked 129,343^rd in the world and 502^nd in Concord for Safest, scoring 68.51 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
