The Empire of Arvanit is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kron I of Arvanit with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 5.413 billion Arvanites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bashkimi. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Arvanite economy, worth 433 trillion Lekės a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,006 Lekės, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Machine gun nests are the latest must-have gardening trend, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities, and the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arvanit's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Arvanit is ranked 22,124th in the world and 2nd in Vistulia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 110.48 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
