The Republic of Avaricious is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, aversion to nipples, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.274 billion Avariciousians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Avariciousian economy, worth 252 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 111,193 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.
Pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold, kitchen patrol is dominated by ten-year-old runts, the country is littered with broken homes, and flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avaricious's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Avaricious is ranked 129,042nd in the world and 249th in Two for Safest, scoring 68.88 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
