The High Athelingric of Evonath is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, enslaved workforce, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.393 billion Evonathans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 88.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Evonathian economy, worth a remarkable 1,486 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,209 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Evonath's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Evonath is ranked 9,762^nd in the world and 57^th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 90.7 on the Human Development Index.
