Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Avenio is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.561 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pergamon. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avenio's national animal is the Oscan Falcon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Denarius.

Avenio is ranked 1st in Tetrakon and 146th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 334 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
