The Community of Avacia is a mid-sized, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 50 million Avacians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 59.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Avacian economy, worth 1.57 trillion labor credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 31,301 labor credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Solid-gold toilets are Avacian prisons' least expensive furnishings, pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avacia's national animal is the elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Avacia is ranked 306,625^th in the world and 105^th in Aeternas for Highest Average Incomes, with 31,301.23 Standard Monetary Units.
