The Republic of Arnyvonna is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Georges Desferres with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.386 billion Arnians 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 enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belle Île. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Arnian economy, worth 194 trillion cailes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,398 cailes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, the Arnian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, and gigantic marble churches take up almost half the land area of small villages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arnyvonna's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sanctumism.

Arnyvonna is ranked 19,037^th in the world and 18^th in Alcris for Safest, scoring 114.31 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
