The Democratic Republic of Aveloris is a very large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 252 million Avelorisians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurelius. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Avelorisian economy, worth 18.9 trillion Avelorian Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,044 Avelorian Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming, Aveloris has designated Aurelius as its capital city, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, and online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Aveloris. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aveloris's national animal is the Avelorian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aveloris is ranked 11,736^th in the world and 260^th in The East Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 61.36 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
