The Republic of Ever Avalon is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 29 million Ever Avalonians 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 juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 30.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ever Avalonian economy, worth 1.24 trillion Valons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,655 Valons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, Leader is adamant that ponies aren't just for little girls, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ever Avalon's national animal is the Veiltail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ever Avalon is ranked 204,142^nd in the world and 2^nd in Union Absolute for Rudest Citizens, with 38.91 insults per minute.
