The Odinsvardom of Jarvikan is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Odinsvar Villim with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.863 billion Jarvikanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalmarsa. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Jarvikanian economy, worth 644 trillion Penningars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,855 Penningars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, decreased demand for toilets is saving the prison service a lot of money, almost all products in Jarvikan are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, and glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jarvikan's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Jarvikan is ranked 146,484^th in the world and 5^th in The United Empires of Carson for Most Primitive, scoring -51.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
