The State of Avalon Island is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 9.838 billion Avalon Islandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion Heights. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The Avalon Islandian economy, worth 473 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 48,154 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, Avalon Island has designated Dominion Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Avalon Island in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avalon Island's national animal is the deer.

Avalon Island is ranked 161,809^th in the world and 1^st in Avalon Island for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,133.46 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
