The Republic of Vara 111 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its smutty television, rampant corporate plagiarism, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.487 billion Vara 111ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Industry, and Defense are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. The average income tax rate is 81.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Vara 111ian economy, worth 962 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 148,350 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, drowning sailors are hung out to dry, and computers are allowed but only just. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 111's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Vara 111 is ranked 10,797th in the world and 6th in Eye for Lowest Crime Rates, with 99.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
