The People's Republic of New Avnera is a very large, safe nation, notable for its vat-grown people, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 156 million Avnesses are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish New Avneran economy, worth 3.88 trillion Menras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 24,867 Menras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, nations that kill an Avnesse can expect a strongly worded letter, there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Avnera's national animal is the Lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Avnera is ranked 212,355^th in the world and 177^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -1.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
