Abo Island allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Abo Island believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government.

Natural Hazards
Harsh winters, blizzards, volcanic activity, seismic activity, falling rocks, sea storms, strong winds across flat lands, and the distance to the nearest hospital all provide slight dangers to the people living on Abo Island.

Plants and Animals
Animals The only native mammal when humans first arrived in the Icelandic area was the arctic fox, which is theorized to have walked across a bridge of ice to the area during the last ice age. There are no native reptiles or amphibians. The animals of Abo Island include the Icelandic sheep, cattle, and the sturdy Icelandic horse. Many varieties of fish live in the ocean waters surrounding Abo Island, but the government does not use the fish as a major export, preferring to just fish enough to feed the country due to lack of food in the past. Wild mammals include the arctic fox, mink, mice, rats, rabbits and reindeer. Before and around the 1900s polar bears occasionally visited the island, traveling on icebergs from Greenland. Birds, especially sea birds, are a very important part of Abo Island's animal life. Puffins, skuas, and kittiwakes nest on its sea cliffs. Plants under construction

Natural Resources

 * Geothermal Energy - Because of the special geological situation in Abo Island, the high concentration of volcanoes and geothermal energy are very often used for heating and production of electricity. The energy is so inexpensive that in the wintertime, some pavements in River City and other major cities are heated. This use of Geothermal Heat was developed in part by the original absence of other means to energy in the Icelandic area.
 * Coal - Uncommon in most of the Icelandic nations, Abo Island has a strong coal industry providing it with a source of energy unlike most of the surrounding nations. Because this resource was only discovered recently, the entire coal trade is able to be exported and traded for other resources. Abo Islanders have learned how to use geothermic energy for heat, farm electricity from the wind.
 * Gems -[[Image:abogems.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Some of the finest gems from Abo Island]] Also rare in most Icelandic nations, Gems have been a staple of the Aboian economy since the birth of the nation. Many citizens have perfected the art of gem-craft, and earned a considerable amount of wealth because of it.
 * Food- At one time, the people of Abo Island, and virtually all nations on Iceland, had a hard time scrounging up enough food to feed their families. This has, however, made Abo Islanders quite resourceful in developing greenhouse farms in which almost all of the food for the nation is grown. There is also a small part of arable land that provides a small part of the world's mushroom needs.
