The Federal Republic of Varithnia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by The Executive Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 9.588 billion Varithnians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Varithnian economy, worth 296 trillion Dezans a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,913 Dezans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public hospital staff roll their eyes at anything less than a heart attack, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, and the aims of top-secret Varithnian science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varithnia's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Varithnia is ranked 112,342^nd in the world and 1,807^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 59.09 on the Human Development Index.
