The Empire of Avayen is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Rudolf IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.482 billion Avayenians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alcrud. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Avayenian economy, worth 674 trillion Valkyries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,106 Valkyries, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Alcrud to enjoy their national art, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avayen's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imperial Pantheon.
Avayen is ranked 22,360th in the world and 8th in Grace of Gaia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 961.98 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
