The Ongoing State of Absentia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by youse with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 47.358 billion Absentians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Middle of Nowhere. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Absentian economy, worth an astonishing 26,381 trillion ergs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 557,057 ergs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and Youse is quite hard to get a hold of. Crime is totally unknown. Absentia's national animal is the cambot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Absentia is ranked 342,544th in the world and 1st in CDW Federation for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -16.54 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
