The Immortal Sect of Arvek is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Han Xiao with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.89 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 Tiānjīng. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arveki economy, worth 261 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 138,225 Arveki Enas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, diplomatic missions are often mistaken as declarations of war, and religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools. 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 Qilin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Daoism.

Arvek is ranked 288,231^st in the world and 187^th in Corsair for Most Secular, with 8.65 Atheism Rate.
