The Kingdom of Avenal is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 589 million Avenalians 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 39.3%.

The Avenalian economy, worth 24.1 trillion Pesos a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,997 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", and foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avenal's national animal is the Condor.

Avenal is ranked 171,003^rd in the world and 107^th in Sparkalia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 22,385.58 Standard Monetary Units.
