The Mallorean Puppet of Avir is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 11.261 billion Avirians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Avirian economy, worth 337 trillion druns a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 29,968 druns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is seen to favor Catholics and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avir's national animal is the macca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avir is ranked 134,028^th in the world and 16^th in Stargate for Largest Governments, scoring 13.3 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
