The Place of Adavan is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 23.566 billion Adavanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bearlin. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Adavanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,462 trillion Pennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 189,343 Pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, and citizens select which government department gets their income tax Pennies each year. Crime is totally unknown. Adavan's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Adavan is ranked 241,934^th in the world and 9,005^th in The East Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
