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

The Republic of Vara 136 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, parental licensing program, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.586 billion Vara 136ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vara 136ian economy, worth 891 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,359 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nationalized auto industry is adept at making durable little cars nobody wants to drive, Leader has killer fashion sense, citizens are now allowed to discuss whether Leader is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation, and pretty hair and tight shorts are considered to be essentials for successful political lobbyists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 136's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Vara 136 is ranked 52,862^nd in the world and 329^th in Eye for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,105.54 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
