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

The Republic of Island of Avalon is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Howard Hellington with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and parental licensing program. The compassionate population of 4.164 billion Avalonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Okrough. The average income tax rate is 31.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Avalonian economy, worth 430 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,413 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Island of Avalon's national animal is the Emperor Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Island of Avalon is ranked 54,995^th in the world and 6^th in Kingdom of Ramility for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
