The People's Republic of Averigrad is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 346 million Averigradians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Averigrad. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Averigradian economy, worth 24.1 trillion Averigradian Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 69,538 Averigradian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians, and environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Averigrad's national animal is the South Averigradian Raccoon.

Averigrad is ranked 72,987th in the world and 1st in AVERIGRAD MCSCHMARIGRAD for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,102.97 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
