The Regime of Absolute Measure is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Administrator with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.455 billion Mensurans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mensur. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mensuran economy, worth 389 trillion Standard Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 158,457 Standard Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol, anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute Measure's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Absolute Measure is ranked 140,690th in the world and 59th in Aeternas for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,032.25 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
