The United States of Arvienna is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Erik with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.108 billion Arviennans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falconia City. The average income tax rate is 61.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arviennan economy, worth 257 trillion Arvyts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 122,031 Arvyts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Falconia City" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arvienna's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arvienna is ranked 262,592^nd in the world and 70^th in Ensio for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.87 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
