The Republic of Aweens is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.434 billion Aweensians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Aweensian economy, worth 220 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Average income is 34,336 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aweens's national animal is the unicorn.

Aweens is ranked 85,884^th in the world and 2,061^st in the Rejected Realms for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
