The Autonomous Province of Avalonian Mann is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Pendragon with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.177 billion Manx are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Manx economy, worth 232 trillion avals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 106,420 avals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, President Pendragon has just been declared ruler of Avalonian Mann in an international press conference, the comic book series 'President Pendragon and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, and Christianity has been named as Avalonian Mann's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avalonian Mann's national animal is the Manx cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Avalonian Mann is ranked 42,239^th in the world and 1^st in Bible for Most Developed, scoring 79.34 on the Human Development Index.
