The United Crown Provinces of The Awen is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by His Excellency Titus of Oresnay with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, strictly enforced bedtime, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 28.262 billion Awenites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archenfield. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Awenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,537 trillion Quills a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 54,402 Quills, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A paperwork error has naval privateers being directed to attack land-locked nations, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Awen's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Awen is ranked 105,592^nd in the world and 111^th in Declansburg for Most Corrupt Governments, with 11.19 kickbacks per hour.
