The People's Republic of Averyickan City is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by King Avery I with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, aversion to nipples, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.874 billion Averyickan Cityians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avery's City. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Averyickan Cityian economy, worth a remarkable 1,557 trillion Averyickan Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 121,012 Averyickan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Customs officials often double as wedding officiants, women across the country are tying the knot, structures are raised on promises, and child shoplifters spend half their youth behind bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Averyickan City's national animal is the Averyickan Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Averyickanism.

Averyickan City is ranked 323,494^th in the world and 539^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Drug Use, scoring 4.31 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
