The Grand Federation of Arvek is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Tsh'ao Akatosh with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.708 billion Arvekis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marrakai. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arveki economy, worth 230 trillion Arveki Enas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,041 Arveki Enas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A new religious movement claims that people's souls are stored in phosphorus, Tsh'ao Akatosh has been declared supreme ruler for all eternity, gigantic marble churches take up almost half the land area of small villages, and video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arvek's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mysticism.

Arvek is ranked 58,026^th in the world and 40^th in Corsair for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,370.94 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
