The Illustrious Imperium of Nova Avalona is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Autokrator ███████ with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.583 billion Avalonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verialess. The average income tax rate is 55.9%.

The all-consuming Nova Avalonan economy, worth 259 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,409 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular, there are no more heroes any more, and practically perfect royal toddlers tend to say "regrettably not at this juncture" rather than "no". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Avalona's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is No Offical Religion.

Nova Avalona is ranked 245,921^st in the world and 4,432^nd in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 270.92 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
