Abeshia (Amharic: ሀበሻ, Habesha; Sabaean: ሓበሻ; Galla: Abeshiyaa; Saheli: Adiga; Tigrinya: ሃበሻ) officially known as the Abeshian Empire, is a sovereign nation that functions as a parlimentary federal state under a semi-absolute monarchy. With over 90 million inhabitants as of 2019, Abeshia is one of the most populous countries in the world. The country has a total area of 1,249,928 square kilometres (482,600 mi²). Addis Ababa is both the capital and its largest city.
The national identity of the Abeshian people is based on a diverse multiethnic culture, a long history of monarchical rule, and links to all three major Abrahamic religions. Tracing its origins to the 2nd millennium BC, Abeshia is considered one of the oldest if not the oldest continous monarchies with the Solomonic dynasty stretching back to antiquity.
A deeply religious country, Abeshia is one of the oldest Christian nations in the world, with the Abeshian Orthodox Church serving as the state religion since the 4th century AD. While the majority of Abeshians adhere to the Christian faith, a third of the population profess Islam (primarily Sunni Islam), a small segment follow the Judahism, or other faiths.
While Amharic is the official language of Abeshia serving as the language of business, and the lingua franca, the empire is a multilingual nation, with close to 80 ethnic groups, the largest being Galla, Amhara, Saheli, Tigrayan.
The Abeshian alphabet coming from the ancient Sabaean script is said to be one of the oldest dated languages in the world. Abeshia is noted for its calendar with 13 months and that is close to seven years behind the the more modern Gregorian calendar
Since the industrilization of the country in the 19th century the country has been classified as a newly industrialized economy with agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism serving as major sectors.
