The Republic of Arvadia is a massive, safe nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, vat-grown people, and compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 1.412 billion Arvadians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Arvadian economy, worth 72.2 trillion Arvas 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 51,118 Arvas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Large areas of Arvadia are not accessible by the public, homophobia is off the menu, many Arvadians twitch nervously at the sight of nuns, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Arvadia in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arvadia's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Arvadia is ranked 251,698^th in the world and 367^th in Bozarkia for Nudest, with 68 cheeks per square mile.
