The Community of Aveiro is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.726 billion Aveiroans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.9%.

The very strong Aveiroan economy, worth a remarkable 1,298 trillion escudoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 54,728 escudoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 167,184 per year while the poor average 13,886, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Voting is compulsory. Crime is moderate. Aveiro's national animal is the cod.

Aveiro is ranked 223,331^st in the world and 128^th in Portugal for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 23.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
