The Allied States of New Avian is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Nick with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.278 billion New Avianites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tryvion. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Avian economy, worth 409 trillion puhskintis a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,814 puhskintis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Populations of two-headed Peregrine Falcons have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Avian's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Avian is ranked 21,908^th in the world and 1,000^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 124,814.62 Standard Monetary Units.
