The Dominion of Avaneesh is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Laurin James with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.419 billion Avaneeshians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of avneesh city. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Avaneeshian economy, worth 746 trillion Pauls a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,803 Pauls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, the Aryan Monkey is protected from hunting and slowly coming back from the brink of extinction, tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, and a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Avaneeshian as 'your finger, you fool'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avaneesh's national animal is the Aryan Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avaneesh is ranked 6,076^th in the world and 17^th in Carcassonne for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,855.41 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
