The Kingdom of Arvenia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister George Santoro with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.899 billion Arvenians 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 large, corrupt, 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 New Oxford. The average income tax rate is 73.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Arvenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,841 trillion Arvenian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,967 Arvenian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
Turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', foreign musicians that Prime Minister George Santoro dislikes are turned away at the border, soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arvenia's national animal is the Arvenian Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Megandelanism.
Arvenia is ranked 79,956th in the world and 20th in Declansburg for Most Stationary, with 606.19163981488 days.
