The Retired Pink Ghost of Ava Ire is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Empress Wrava with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 25.868 billion Pink Ghosts are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of TITAN Headquarters. The average income tax rate is 57.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Ava Irean economy, worth a remarkable 1,410 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,541 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and the government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ava Ire's national animal is the Demon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is TITANism.

Ava Ire is ranked 128,022^nd in the world and 1^st in World Gardens for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 953.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
