The Constitutional Monarchy of Avaliona is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working population of 50 million Avalionians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Avalionian economy, worth 2.76 trillion bits a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 55,233 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, and corporate lobbying has been outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avaliona's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Avaliona is ranked 222,260^th in the world and 5,143^rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 24.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
