Abbots Wood is an area of trees and savannah located on the southern fringe of the Federated housing estate in Keynsham. The ancient woodland was planted by Julius Ceasar in 32 B.C. and was later commandeered by King Louis XV of France for use as a paintball arena. Abbots Wood is regularly used as a temporary travellers camp by the local council. In 2005, plans were approved to demolish Abbots Wood in order to make room for a permanent traveller housing estate and a cow rendering factory.

Abbots Wood is home to over a dozen undangered species and is a designated Area of Outstanding Development Potential (AODP), having recently been secretly upgraded from Green Belt to Brown Field status.

The American United State (AMUNIST) is a globally-powerful overseas development consortium founded by some of the richest people on Planet Earth. In 2007, AMUNIST was voted World's Toughest Country by the United Nations. The award was accepted by current American United State prime minister Bruce Willis at a glitzy ceremony in Baghdad.

During the 1990's, AMUNIST started getting fiendly with England, and together they went around sorting stuff out with armies and lasers. AMUNIST is the Earth's main disliker of Terrible Nations, and knows where they live. The American United State is home to the Star and Banner theme pub and has never heard of cricket. The company motto is: 'Liberty And Justice For Oil'.

Area of Outstanding Development Potential (AODP) is a status bestowed upon an area of open land that is currently either Green Belt or Brown Field. Once it has been designated an AODP, the land is susceptible to a virus-like fungal infection called Red Tape, which feeds on anything green. A Compulsory Construction Order (CCO) soons develops and takes hold in the infected region. Any AODP-classed land infected with both Red Tape and CCO will perish upon economic upturn. There is no known antidote, though several crusties chained to the tree canopies will temporarily slow down the symptoms.

Avon is often referred to as 'The A Word' by people with good manners and taste.
