The Wizarding World of Avonhead is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Dr Ashley Bloomfield with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 23.852 billion Avonwards enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merrin. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Avewardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,862 trillion Gallions a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,027 Gallions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Dr Ashley Bloomfield is wearing this season, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, and the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avonhead's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avonhead is ranked 4,313^th in the world and 113^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 61.45 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
