“Pollet Virtus”

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

The First Commonwealth of New Avalon is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by First Minister Hermione Alison Osis with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 21.95 billion New 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carlion. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Avalonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,468 trillion thalers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 158,028 thalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

A firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, out-of-work actors say they can't complain, board shorts have replaced board rooms, and the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Avalon's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is New Avalon Catholic Church.

New Avalon is ranked 285,495^th in the world and 425^th in United Kingdom for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.52 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
