The United States of Aberliada is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by David Evans with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.243 billion Aberians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hollnliada. The average income tax rate is 45.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Aberian economy, worth 838 trillion Aberian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,946 Aberian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, the government is trying to clean up all the rubbish that has washed up on the shores of Bigtopia and Marche Noire, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aberliada's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aberianism.

Aberliada is ranked 14,008th in the world and 35th in Christians for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 37,121.01 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
