The Socialist Republic of Arvladma is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Secretary General Nikita Volgin with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 9.567 billion Arvladians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladivoyarsk. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Arvladian economy, worth a remarkable 1,975 trillion Credytians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 206,533 Credytians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, children grow up believing the sun to be a myth, and it's considered a valid legal defence to say "a demon made me do it". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arvladma's national animal is the Taxru Uatamo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arvladma is ranked 289,722^nd in the world and 3,775^th in the West Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -657.38 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
