The Reborn Queendom of Avenel is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Narai Larein with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.203 billion Avenelians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Larein. The average income tax rate is 53.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Avenelian economy, worth 92.2 trillion Rits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,656 Rits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Members of ethnic minorities are more often called "boy" or "girl" than by their actual names, marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, people are more interested in gossip about the private lives of politicians than their policies, and the government asks not what you can do for your country but what you can do to tidy their country homes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avenel's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Avenel is ranked 200,298^th in the world and 109^th in Karma for Largest Populations, with 1.20 billion capita.
