The Federal Republic of Averdan is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 75 million Averdanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.9%.

The thriving Averdanian economy, worth 7.24 trillion Averdan Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 96,567 Averdan Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hackers post hourly updates on international summits, Leader always arrives fashionably late and smelling of mushrooms, ADHD now stands for Attention Distracted by Hardware Devices, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Averdan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Averdan is ranked 67,424^th in the world and 48^th in Union Brazilian for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,116.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
