The Country of Avilar is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Avocatto with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 12.222 billion avians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skylarkia. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The thriving Avilarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,199 trillion chips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. Average income is 98,133 chips, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, stern tutting by international commentators has persuaded Avilar to disarm, and feeling like a winner comes at a price. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avilar's national animal is the Mountain Bluebird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Avilar is ranked 13,266^th in the world and 827^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
