The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 91,241 Feathers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Euthanasia is legal, The Federal Executive Council has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and the freedom to be free is always just out of reach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aveistan's national animal is the Aveistani eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Avistani folk religion.

Aveistan is ranked 252,200^th in the world and 2,890^th in the South Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,646.22 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
