The Federal Republic of Varisland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Yasmijn Kruiper with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, aversion to nipples, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.105 billion Varislandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varastad. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Varislandic economy, worth a remarkable 2,281 trillion Varislandic Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 250,561 Varislandic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Yasmijn Kruiper has won three lotteries in a row, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, and foreign workers are flooding in as Varislandic Marks flood out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Varisland's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Varisland is ranked 285,253^rd in the world and 6,097^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
