The Holy Fatherland of Avlantica is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Sir Daniel Smith with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.8 billion Avlanticans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avlonabhad. The average income tax rate is 34.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Avlantican economy, worth a remarkable 1,508 trillion Avlanis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 221,772 Avlanis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Jennifer Government is a bestseller, the police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar, and research into 'designer babies' is banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Avlantica's national animal is the Morpho, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Avalism.

Avlantica is ranked 69,476^th in the world and 3^rd in Goninan for Most Developed, scoring 70.83 on the Human Development Index.
