The Republic of Avsa is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 861 million Avsans 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Avsan economy, worth 83.3 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,783 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

People faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, pharmacists increasingly claim they are morally obligated to take long lunches, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, and councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters. Crime is almost non-existent. Avsa's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avsa is ranked 34,412^th in the world and 6^th in Organization of Mediterranean States for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,868.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
