The Imperial Welfare Union of New Camelot of Avalonia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by the Prime minister with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.875 billion Upper Avalonians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aeurenaven. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Avalonian economy, worth a remarkable 6,417 trillion Avalonian Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 359,017 Avalonian Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All facts are created equal, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, kindhearted Upper Avalonians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, and pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty. Crime is totally unknown. New Camelot of Avalonia's national animal is the Sea Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cesjaronism.

New Camelot of Avalonia is ranked 372^nd in the world and 2^nd in the Outback for Most Developed, scoring 99.38 on the Human Development Index.
