The Rogue Nation of AV-256-X is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 125 million Machines are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.
The powerhouse AV-256-Xian economy, worth 10.8 trillion Chips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 86,308 Chips, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 334,728 per year while the poor average 15,243, a ratio of 22.0 to 1.
Going on a diet invalidates your passport, janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, and advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. AV-256-X's national animal is the orange cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
AV-256-X is ranked 100,497th in the world and 1,799th in The North Pacific for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 72.09 Workforce Participation Rate.
