The Panoptikon of Varanius is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Vauron with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 10.157 billion Entities 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zygotia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Entitian economy, worth a remarkable 2,523 trillion Jarlic Jewels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 248,427 Jarlic Jewels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

WhoTube speedrunners always have at least one viewer, legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, and monarchs only get custody of the royal crown on holidays and weekends. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varanius's national animal is the thing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ego-Varaism.

Varanius is ranked 1,438^th in the world and 20^th in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 155.03 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
