The Wizarding World of Avonhead is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Dr Ashley Bloomfield with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 23.72 billion Avonwards enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merrin. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Avewardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,864 trillion Gallions a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,750 Gallions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife, Dr Ashley Bloomfield's reputation is hard as nails, and conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avonhead's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avonhead is ranked 2,589^th in the world and 72^nd in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 64.93 average smiles per day.
