The Democratic States of Avengis is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Avenged with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.542 billion Avengisians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haides. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Avengisian economy, worth 168 trillion Deethbas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,369 Deethbas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, the endangered saltwater humpback Hammer-headed bat is only seen in captivity programs, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avengis's national animal is the Hammer-headed bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Avengis is ranked 27,604^th in the world and 73^rd in The League for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
