The Allied States of Avenwhyke is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 19.024 billion Avenwhykeans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.7%.

The very strong Avenwhykean economy, worth a remarkable 1,310 trillion Colonials a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 68,880 Colonials, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 221,970 per year while the poor average 16,174, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

A dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, bicyclists are banned from major roads, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Avenwhyke's national animal is the Raven.

Avenwhyke is ranked 175,605^th in the world and 1^st in Autumnberg for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
