The Republic of Vara 12 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory gun ownership, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.097 billion Vara 12ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Vara 12ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,299 trillion Object Permanences 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip 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 an impressive 183,151 Object Permanences, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vara 12's national animal is the Question Mark.
Vara 12 is ranked 172,843rd in the world and 38th in Eye for Most Stationary, with 92.6060518432 days.
