The Allied States of New Avian is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Nick with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.182 billion New Avianites enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tryvion. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Avian economy, worth 244 trillion puhskintis a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,113 puhskintis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, and the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Avian's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Avian is ranked 197,936^th in the world and 9,612^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
