Abstract
The distribution of the number of points on abelian covers of ranging over an irreducible moduli space has been answered in recent work by the author. Bucur, et al. determined the distribution over the whole moduli space for curves with Gal a prime cyclic. In this paper, we prove a result towards determining the distribution over the whole moduli space of curves with Gal any abelian group. We successfully determine the distribution in the case Gal is a power of a prime cyclic.
