The Gujarati Samrajya of Awell Islands is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Shri Sureshbhai Patel with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 3.904 billion Awellians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gandhinagar. The average income tax rate is 86.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Awellian economy, worth 663 trillion Kuntis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 169,966 Kuntis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Awell Islands's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Awell Islands is ranked 3,630^th in the world and 5^th in India for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 18,963.55 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
