Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The People's Republic of Avenio is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 7.192 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

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.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, the mob and the police have recently had numerous clashes in the back alleys of Avenio's cities due to the government's steadfast anti-casino stance, Oscan Falcon is one of the most popular forenames in Avenio, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. 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 43rd in Tetrakon and 101,555th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -17 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
