The Free City of Averigrad is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 572 million Averigradians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystalwindia. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Averigradian economy, worth 52.8 trillion Averigradian Rubles 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 92,242 Averigradian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, and anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Averigrad's national animal is the South Averigradian Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Averigrad is ranked 94,473^rd in the world and 3^rd in The Cortexist International for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,450.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
