The Federal Republic of Aventhia is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Norman Bradford with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.77 billion Aventhians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bellux. The average income tax rate is 75.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Aventhian economy, worth a remarkable 1,303 trillion Aventhian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 133,448 Aventhian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aventhia's national animal is the Northwest Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Westward Divergence.

Aventhia is ranked 17,778^th in the world and 3^rd in Elvarya for Smartest Citizens, with 72.03 quips per hour.
