The State of Avius is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 11.008 billion Aviusians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 6.0%.

The strong Aviusian economy, worth 699 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 63,518 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, Avius has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Avius in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Avius's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Avius is ranked 39,505^th in the world and 609^th in 0000 for Largest Populations, with 11.0 billion capita.
