The Federal Republic of Averdan is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 135 million Averdanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.1%.

The powerhouse Averdanian economy, worth 13.8 trillion Averdan Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 102,241 Averdan Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, foreign invaders are putting Averdanian lab rats out of a job, the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny, and government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Averdan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Averdan is ranked 56,875^th in the world and 36^th in Union Brazilian for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,643.97 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
