Avalonia has created a doomsday device. In short, a computer network detects nuclear detonations from military nuclear devices. In the event that any unscheduled nuclear explosion occurs within the Avalonian border, a cloud of nuclear fog will be emitted from various points around the globe which will decay in approximately 500 years, meanwhile blocking out the sun. The device also sends out an automated message to all nuclear missile silos under Avalonian control with a list of coordinates to receive immediate nuclear retaliation. It has been calculated that there is a 0.07% chance that the entire computer network supporting this doomsday device could be destroyed before the nuclear cloud and/or warheads cause a M.A.D. situation.
Avalonia plans to hold the world's Olympics next year. Athletes from all nations are permitted, but should any nation chose to boycott the Olympics for any reason, Avalonia will not be offended.
Scientific research from Enduva (Earth 3.0) has finally reached this planet after a lone ship of Fascist-Avalonian origin crashed down in Eastern Avalonia. The research includes a good many notes on Avalonia's biological warfare program from way back then and other miscellaneous projects.
Upcoming Avalonian presidential elections are expected to center around Avalonia's foreign policy. The Small government parties have coalesced into the Neo-Avalonian Party which supports isolationist policy, and the large government parties are divided into three camps which each believe in being a dominant world power but are split on the issues of taxation, gun control, state funded programs, and freedom of press. It is expected that the Neo-Avalonians will win their election with the current president, Johnathan Ki'Pantrit.
