“Liberty, Unity, Prosperity”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federal Republic of Varisland is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Yasmijn Kruiper with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.171 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 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Varislandic economy, worth a remarkable 2,292 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 249,925 Varislandic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, Yasmijn Kruiper can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, and tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash. 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 1,763^rd in the world and 57^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 8,402.74 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
