The Transnational Corporations of Arviet is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by CEO Warren Anderson with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ritual sacrifices, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.108 billion Arvietians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aquila City. Income tax is unheard of.

The powerhouse Arvietian economy, worth 338 trillion Arvyts a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 160,555 Arvyts, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,063,479 per year while the poor average 9,319, a ratio of 114 to 1.

Things are looking up for sentient toilet bowls, Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer, a shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's, and the entire entry for Arviet in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Arviet's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Arviet is ranked 312,093^rd in the world and 420^th in Edoca for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -20 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
