The Republic of Avonna is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 21.456 billion Avonnans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freedom. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Avonnan economy, worth a remarkable 2,380 trillion bliths a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,935 bliths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Patch v22.1705 - all developers are now paid for work, there is a thriving underground gay scene, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, and factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Avonna's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avonna is ranked 327,675^th in the world and 2,651^st in the West Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -14.89 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
