The People's Republic of Averyickan City is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Avery I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.691 billion Averyickan Cityians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avery's City. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Averyickan Cityian economy, worth 867 trillion Averyickan Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 112,849 Averyickan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Decreased demand for toilets is saving the prison service a lot of money, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, slavery has been abolished, and the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Averyickan Cityians any less frightened. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Averyickan City's national animal is the Averyickan Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Averyickanism.

Averyickan City is ranked 8,005^th in the world and 202^nd in The Communist Bloc for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,815.99 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
