The Reborn Queendom of Avenel is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Narai Larein with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.084 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 medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Larein. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Avenelian economy, worth 90.3 trillion Rits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,263 Rits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Transgender and agender are on the education agenda, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", Avenelian farm salmon are known for being both horribly diseased and remarkably acrobatic, and programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Avenel's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Avenel is ranked 22,764^th in the world and 56^th in Karma for Nicest Citizens, with 21.25 average smiles per day.
