The Kingdom of Arevik is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 977 million Arevikians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Highsound Valley. The average income tax rate is 49.9%.

The powerhouse Arevikian economy, worth 92.9 trillion Royal Laris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 95,128 Royal Laris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, gossip magazines have pictures of Leader sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arevik's national animal is the Arevikine Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arevik is ranked 57,858^th in the world and 5^th in the Union of Wreath and Rose for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,928.49 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
