The Preventing Florist Friars of Avant Gardening is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.686 billion Avant Gardeningians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 35.3%.

The thriving Avant Gardeningian economy, worth 637 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,373 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, mandatory electronic currency is a boon for credit card companies and government surveillance, the military is blowing up any threat to employment within the nation, and orange is the new black for judicial robes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avant Gardening's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Avant Gardening is ranked 80,450^th in the world and 1,893^rd in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 90.31 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
