The Federation of Averra is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Luc Kesseler with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.725 billion Averrans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augensberg. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Averran economy, worth a remarkable 1,213 trillion Averran Thalens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 95,348 Averran Thalens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, and autocrats are persona non grata. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Averra's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Averra is ranked 125,600^th in the world and 40^th in Alcris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 937.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
