The Card Collector of Avharo is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Paelego Hess with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.416 billion Avharoans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Valour. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Avharoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,114 trillion Rhies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 132,371 Rhies, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Avharo's national animal is the White Peacock, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Placeholder.

Avharo is ranked 257,131^st in the world and 12^th in First World Order for Lowest Crime Rates, with 47.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
