The Federal Republic of Avonto is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Olivier Ravioli with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.239 billion Avontonese 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avanjela. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Avontoan economy, worth 639 trillion Mapirés a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 197,580 Mapirés, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", coalition governments are essential to passing new laws, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avonto's national animal is the Rainbowfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lethuism.

Avonto is ranked 28,544^th in the world and 1^st in The Red Fox Pact for Highest Economic Output, with 639 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
