The Grand Federation of Arvek is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Tsh'ao Akatosh with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.73 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 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arveki economy, worth 235 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 135,929 Arveki Enas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion, courtrooms can be a little sketchy, and foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Arveki ambassadors. 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 277,967^th in the world and 123^rd in Corsair for Largest Black Market, with 75.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
