The Republic of Avarosa is a huge, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 783 million Avarosans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Avarosan economy, worth 51.8 trillion bronze nickels a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,141 bronze nickels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, it is a silent spring in Avarosa, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avarosa's national animal is the rockwarbler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avarosa is ranked 273,058^th in the world and 1,944^th in Herta Space Station for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -55.17 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
