The Community of Aw is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.884 billion Awians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 90.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Awian economy, worth a remarkable 2,649 trillion Golds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 133,228 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, Awian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, the annual government yacht trip is sponsored by criminal syndicates, and that which doesn't kill you can get you de-platformed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aw's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aw is ranked 34,740th in the world and 39th in Karma for Highest Average Incomes, with 133,228.24 Standard Monetary Units.
