The Kingdom of Arwen is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and state-planned economy. The democratic population of 3.649 billion Arwenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 10.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Arwenian economy, worth 262 trillion Starlights a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 71,864 Starlights, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, rural citizens live in terror of their local village constable, Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, and glamping Arwenians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime is relatively low. Arwen's national animal is the Eagle.

Arwen is ranked 184,585^th in the world and 3^rd in Lindon for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
