The Republic of Vara 153 is a massive, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.418 billion Vara 153ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.7%.
The all-consuming Vara 153ian economy, worth 228 trillion baht a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,695 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples, Jennifer Government is banned, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 153's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Vara 153 is ranked 89,424th in the world and 3,037th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 34.13 quips per hour.
