The United Principalities of Aravam is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by King Vincento Jiveleos II with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 19.676 billion Aravami are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erali. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Aravami economy, worth a remarkable 2,288 trillion Rodins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 116,293 Rodins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 369,306 per year while the poor average 27,900, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Children of nonreligious parents are often barred from school festival events, punitive tariffs protect local industry, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, and the lives of former ski town residents are going downhill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aravam's national animal is the Vicilian Songbird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cyanism.

Aravam is ranked 206,658th in the world and 105th in Aceon for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 292.47 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
