The Isle of Bray is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed population of 18.87 billion Avalonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.4%.
The strong Avalonish economy, worth a remarkable 1,467 trillion silver coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 77,790 silver coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,309 per year while the poor average 18,742, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.
It is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Bray's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bray's national animal is the red dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Bray is ranked 108,443rd in the world and 29th in Lennart for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,707.11 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
