The Principality of Avolon State is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.394 billion Avolon Stateans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The very strong Avolon Statean economy, worth 404 trillion aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 63,260 aurums, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Avolon State's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Avolon State is ranked 42,874^th in the world and 1^st in Avolon for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,527.11 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
