The Republic of Vara 177

“Pride and Industry”

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

The Republic of Vara 177 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.139 billion Vara 177ians 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, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vara 177ian economy, worth 906 trillion francs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 147,656 francs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 825,935 per year while the poor average 13,124, a ratio of 62.9 to 1.

Commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, it is common to still see adults with training wheels on their bikes, foreign ambassadors are accused of stealing Vara 177ian jobs, and to say that military robots are inclined towards violence is offensive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 177's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vara 177 is ranked 68,963^rd in the world and 109^th in Eye for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 49,021.83 Standard Monetary Units.
