The Yarrrr of Avast Ye Scurvy Dog is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and ban on automobiles. The devout population of 2.647 billion Avast Ye Scurvy Dogians 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 47.0%.

The strong Avast Ye Scurvy Dogian economy, worth 150 trillion golds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,742 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

A tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger, freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, and chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avast Ye Scurvy Dog's national animal is the dragon.

Avast Ye Scurvy Dog is ranked 38,513th in the world and 341st in Artificial Solar System for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 6,118.64 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
