The Commonwealth of Arwindom is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by HM Empress Emily Campbell with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.501 billion Arwindens are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rossendam. The average income tax rate is 31.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Arwindomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,198 trillion Airlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,995 Airlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The last thing Arwindomian soldiers hear before charging into battle is a preacher trying to convert them, children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, and the decommissioned tank divisions of other nations are being bought up en masse by Arwindom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arwindom's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Western Orthodox Christianity.

Arwindom is ranked 20,938^th in the world and 12^th in Northern Utopia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 114.17 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
