The Empire of Avastotz is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Henry Von Ludwig with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.817 billion Avastotzians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ludonia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Avastotzian economy, worth 799 trillion Otznigs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 102,311 Otznigs, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avastotz's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Avastotz is ranked 140,825^th in the world and 2,530^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 613.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
