The People's Republic of Avalatia is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 117 million Avalatians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 14.1%.

The Avalatian economy, worth 5.53 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,260 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Avalatian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, and a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Avalatian politicians. Crime is relatively low. Avalatia's national animal is the owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Avalatia is ranked 175,870^th in the world and 642^nd in Concord for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 64.88 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
