The Federal Republic of Avarium is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 652 million Avarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Milvinia. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Avarian economy, worth 23.2 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 35,547 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, the government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales, judges are all-powerful, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Avarium. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avarium's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Avarium is ranked 92,411^th in the world and 17^th in Colonia Apollonis for Highest Poor Incomes, with 32,168.09 Standard Monetary Units.
