AnimalBird of Paradise

The United Kingdom of Avemton is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.056 billion Avemtonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Avemtonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,652 trillion Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 102,923 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There have been reports of people marrying housepets, feeling like a winner comes at a price, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and future leaders of Avemton regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avemton's national animal is the Bird of Paradise, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Avemton is ranked 166,050th in the world and 3,386th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 114.55963501512 days.
