The Dominion of The Holy Avalonian Empire is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by HIM Emperor Charles IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.172 billion Avalonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avalon. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Avalonian economy, worth 553 trillion Krons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,614 Krons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Neighboring nations are tired of The Holy Avalonian Empire's big fish stories, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, arthritic citizens seem underrepresented at royal meet-and-greets, and the family of HIM Emperor Charles IV bite their thumbs at paparazzi intrusions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Holy Avalonian Empire's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Insula Avallonis Church.

The Holy Avalonian Empire is ranked 130,674^th in the world and 169^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Highest Food Quality, scoring 17.86 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
