The Parliamentary republic of Avrav is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Johnny Martinson with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.919 billion Tuistans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of city of tuistan. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tuistani economy, worth 190 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 99,158 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avrav's national animal is the Royal Bengal Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is No official religion.

Avrav is ranked 126,852^nd in the world and 338^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Patriotic, with 11.81 flags saluted per person per day.
