Abeirtoril

Abeirtoril
The Empire of Abeirtoril is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 430 million 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athkatla. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67%. A healthy private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Arms Manufacturing.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Abeirtoril to be bombproof, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, bloodthirsty zealots regularly participate in the Friday Night Stoning of Adulterers, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abeirtoril's national animal is the Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Goldpiece.

History
When Diszjove the Bhaalspawn ascended to god-hood during the Bhaalspawn-crisis, the seed was sown for the creation of the modern-day "nationstate" Abeirtoril.
