The Commonwealth of Arwindom is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by HM Empress Emily Campbell with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.897 billion Arwindens are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rossendam. The average income tax rate is 22.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Arwindomian economy, worth 385 trillion Airlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,999 Airlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign investment has dropped to a trickle after laws were passed preventing investors from taking their earnings abroad, heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of Arwindom, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arwindom's national animal is the Eagle and its national religion is Christianity.

Arwindom is ranked 234,825^th in the world and 66^th in Northern Utopia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 5.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
