The Confederacy of Aaverat is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 530 million Aaveratians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hemming City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.3%.
The powerhouse Aaveratian economy, worth 48.8 trillion Aaveratian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 92,000 Aaveratian dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,492 per year while the poor average 23,171, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.
