The Isle of Vesly is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, enslaved workforce, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.556 billion Avalonians 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 prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Environment also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.1%.
The powerhouse Avalonic economy, worth a remarkable 1,127 trillion drakes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,204 drakes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 286,352 per year while the poor average 8,943, a ratio of 32.0 to 1.
Economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, calling dibs is an unalienable right, and the government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vesly's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Vesly is ranked 161,737th in the world and 26th in Lennart for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 784.81 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
