The Federal Kingdom of New Vardarland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by PM Josif Znametski with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.961 billion Vardarlanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velesburg. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vardarlandic economy, worth 206 trillion Vardarlandic Drines a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 105,495 Vardarlandic Drines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, the 'sing-a-long with PM Josif Znametski' album is a popular souvenir, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Vardarland's national animal is the Vardarlandic Mountain Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Vardarland is ranked 151,839^th in the world and 916^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 11.53 flags saluted per person per day.
