“Liberty, Unity, Prosperity”

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

The Federal Republic of Varisland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Yasmijn Kruiper with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.095 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 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Varislandic economy, worth a remarkable 2,277 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 250,414 Varislandic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sofas are perpetually on sales that Must End Soon, the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, torture is illegal, and rumor has it that Yasmijn Kruiper has won three lotteries in a row. 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 161,636^th in the world and 3,508^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 252.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
