The United Crown Provinces of The Awen is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by His Excellency Titus of Oresnay with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, devout population of 29.818 billion Awenites 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 Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archenfield. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Awenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,610 trillion Quills a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 53,997 Quills, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, people queue for valets instead of parking spaces, and old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Awen's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Awen is ranked 205,542nd in the world and 153rd in Declansburg for Most Pacifist, with 47.22 cheeks turned per day.
