The High Athelingric of Evonath is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.429 billion Evonathans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 89.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Evonathian economy, worth a remarkable 1,512 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,426 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, gambling is outlawed, and Asher Wiley's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Evonath's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Evonath is ranked 21,584^th in the world and 54^th in Starlight for Highest Average Incomes, with 160,426.07 Standard Monetary Units.
