The Grand Federation of Arvek is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Tom Riddle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.674 billion Arvekis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marrakai. The average income tax rate is 65.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arveki economy, worth 225 trillion Arveki Enas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,784 Arveki Enas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The holidays begin with the traditional exchanging of aspirin, a life spent suffering in silence is considered noble, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, and popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arvek's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mysticism.

Arvek is ranked 33,751^st in the world and 23^rd in Corsair for Highest Average Incomes, with 134,784.02 Standard Monetary Units.
