The Saint of Vara 174 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.083 billion Vara 174ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Vara 174ian economy, worth 894 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,129 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, interest in globalism never flags, retail boutiques encourage citizens to honor their military veterans by purchasing flag-patterned underwear, and people can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 174's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Vara 174 is ranked 173,861st in the world and 198th in Eye for Most Stationary, with 91.0726500468 days.
