“The Best is Yet to Come”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Grand Empire of Aevana is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Crown Prince with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 15.692 billion Aevanans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashmore. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Aevanan economy, worth a remarkable 2,965 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 188,957 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

School children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, female smokers cut their hair and don suits to get into male-only clubs, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, and diplomacy is a foreign concept to Aevanans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aevana's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Aevana.

Aevana is ranked 120,202^nd in the world and 432^nd in Europeia for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,523.03 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
