The Empire of Avastotz is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chancellor Henry Von Ludwig with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.748 billion Avastotzians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ludonia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Avastotzian economy, worth 810 trillion Otznigs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 104,628 Otznigs, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avastotz's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Avastotz is ranked 52,620^th in the world and 1,149^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
