The Community of Arvigiel is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 15.607 billion Arvigielians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Arvigielian economy, worth 757 trillion pangas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Cheese Exports. Average income is 48,541 pangas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Some people will do literally anything to be in the spotlight, foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, the Twelve Steps To Logging Off is the most popular mobile download, and telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arvigiel's national animal is the dinosaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arvigiel is ranked 131,668^th in the world and 898^th in Europeia for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
