Abydos is a minuscule region, inhabited by a few solitary nations and without any World Assembly representation.
In Abydos, denizens enjoy their civil rights, although not too much, or too freely. Political freedom does not exist. The region is recognized as an extreme dictatorship. Economies in the region tend to be stronger than average, although most are not big enough to be considered heavyweights. The median tax rate of the region is 45%, but is frequently higher for the wealthy. The economy of nations in the region tends to be heavily weighted towards the public sector, with on average only 35% of the economy comprising the private sector. Commerce within the region is an irrelevant annoyance to governments.
Abydos does not prioritize education in any meaningful way. Criminality is rife within the region, with law enforcement struggling to cope. Governments allocate a meagre 1%, on average, of their budgets to law and order. Denizens have well-funded defense forces. Public transport is considered dirty and trampish in the region. You would be mad to use it.
Throughout Abydos, governments find themselves confused, with administration departments being so bloated that staff do not know what other staff are doing, with an average of over 11% of government budgets being devoted to Administration. Governments generally endow their healthcare departments with a large amount of funding, with an average of 6% of government budgets across the region being devoted to healthcare. Governments in the region have a pathological fixation on welfare, with welfare budgets soaking up huge amounts of government expenditure. Spirituality is an obsession of governments in the region, with a relatively very high average of 9% of government budgets being devoted to Spirituality.
Social inequality is rife amongst the nations within Abydos. The landscapes of the region are no longer recognizable as such, the atmosphere being unbreathable and the only jungles being made of concrete.
