The Republic of Awestre Gorend is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dolly Patron with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.959 billion Awestre Gorendians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cork. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Awestre Gorendian economy, worth a remarkable 1,451 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 182,348 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, state dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, and there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Awestre Gorend's national animal is the Red Panada, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Awestre Gorend is ranked 291,353^rd in the world and 4,673^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -7.75 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
