Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Aeval is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 662 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 47%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry.

Genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and guns are banned. Crime is totally unknown. Aeval's national animal is the Oliphaunts, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the wing.

Aeval is ranked 4th in Educia and 45,136th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
