The Empire of Avgaar is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its closed borders, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.745 billion Avgaarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, 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 Ildrasil. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Avgaarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,001 trillion Kroner 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 211,091 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise, the Avgaarian government is the world's largest NGO, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and biological warfare is used to solve small disagreements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avgaar's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avgaar is ranked 3,959^th in the world and 2^nd in The Vincence Empire for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 622.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
