The Dictatorship of Arvion is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Alexi with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, enslaved workforce, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.311 billion Arvons 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corvus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Arvonian economy, worth 147 trillion Arvyts a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,412 Arvyts, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, injured workers are encouraged to 'stitch themselves up with their bootstraps', books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy, and professional athletes can't see balls amid the deluge of advertisements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arvion's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arvion is ranked 108,363rd in the world and 37th in Ensio for Safest, scoring 80.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
