The Free Land of Avonticus is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Feya Glass with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.671 billion Avonticans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vachinal. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Avonticusian economy, worth 213 trillion Avés a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 80,053 Avés, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, and basket-weaving is the nation's latest fad. Crime is totally unknown. Avonticus's national animal is the Blue-Wing Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Angelicism.

Avonticus is ranked 240,375^th in the world and 4^th in West Atlantic Organization for Most Avoided, scoring 1.2 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
