The Democratic Republic of Aveloris is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 338 million Avelorisians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurelius. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Avelorisian economy, worth 26.9 trillion Avelorian Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,713 Avelorian Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and farting etiquette is taught in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aveloris's national animal is the Avelorian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aveloris is ranked 33,166^th in the world and 533^rd in The East Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 53.71 quips per hour.
