The Free Land of Varhat is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by no one in particular with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.925 billion Varhatians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nehemiah. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Varhatian economy, worth 369 trillion Ingrands a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 126,490 Ingrands, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 389,365 per year while the poor average 31,744, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

The sidewalk is used as an overtaking lane by city drivers, male tourists tend to be fearful of Varhat's deadly femme fatales, No one in particular affectionately nicknames supporters by number, and it's a hard-knock life for the orphans doing factory work for a pittance. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Varhat's national animal is the Chihuahua, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Varhat is ranked 331,585th in the world and 11th in VinCorp for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 2.12 Effective Tax Rate.
