The Republic of Avvpajjnummus is a huge, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 509 million Avvpajjnummusians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Avvpajjnummusian economy, worth 23.0 trillion Uʹrvvlõstts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 45,276 Uʹrvvlõstts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament, Leader's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support, angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, and elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Avvpajjnummus's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Avvpajjnummus is ranked 300,828th in the world and 8th in Luadastmaa Puppet Region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
