The Democratic States of Avengis is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Avenged with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 2.653 billion Avengisians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haides. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Avengisian economy, worth 176 trillion Deethbas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,401 Deethbas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every week is blindness awareness week, sleeping on the job is recommended, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avengis's national animal is the Hammer-headed bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Avengis is ranked 8,489^th in the world and 19^th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,012.62 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
