The Reborn Queendom of Avenel is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Narai Larein with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.19 billion Avenelians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Larein. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.2%.

The all-consuming Avenelian economy, worth 96.5 trillion Rits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,101 Rits, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Members of ethnic minorities are more often called "boy" or "girl" than by their actual names, marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, people are more interested in gossip about the private lives of politicians than their policies, and the government asks not what you can do for your country but what you can do to tidy their country homes. Crime is almost non-existent. Avenel's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Avenel is ranked 16,817^th in the world and 33^rd in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,314.98 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
