The Republic of Awesonmeland is a large, genial nation, notable for its burgeoning candidacy population. The democratic population of 106 million Awesonmelandians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 26.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Awesonmelandian economy, worth 4.49 trillion candidacies a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,357 candidacies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Adding salt and pepper to food is enough to raise suspicion of treason. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Awesonmeland's national animal is the candidacy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Awesonmeland is ranked 280,447^th in the world and 220^th in Benigtopia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.45 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
