The Wizarding World of Avonhead is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dr Ashley Bloomfield with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 28.887 billion Avonwards enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merrin. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Avewardian economy, worth a remarkable 3,629 trillion Gallions a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,632 Gallions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can't ask the government "you and whose army?" when they declare they're going to rob you, the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, voters are one of the nation's top imports, and raccoons are plump and satiated. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avonhead's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avonhead is ranked 5,665^th in the world and 2^nd in The Middle Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 95.07 Effective Tax Rate.
