The Meritocratic Republic of Avalisk is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Head Councilor Hollis Knox with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.834 billion Avalisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Almorac. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Avalissian economy, worth 953 trillion Seahles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,489 Seahles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, vaccinations are mandatory, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Head Councilor Hollis Knox is a silly poophead, and children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avalisk's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zephyrism.
Avalisk is ranked 286,338th in the world and 1,404th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.42 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
