The Republic of Avaluna is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Carabao population. The quiet, industrious population of 26 million Avalunans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Avalunan economy, worth 935 billion Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,969 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

There's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avaluna's national animal is the Carabao, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avaluna is ranked 252,224^th in the world and 607^th in The Wellspring for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
