The Democratic States of Avengis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Avenged with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.549 billion Avengisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haides. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Avengisian economy, worth 168 trillion Deethbas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,275 Deethbas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every week is blindness awareness week, sleeping on the job is recommended, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avengis's national animal is the Hammer-headed bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Avengis is ranked 13,670^th in the world and 35^th in The League for Nicest Citizens, with 27.89 average smiles per day.
