“I love 9003”

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

The Republic of Vara 195 is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.854 billion Vara 195ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Vara 195ian economy, worth 624 trillion 9003s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 128,600 9003s, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 508,072 per year while the poor average 22,037, a ratio of 23.1 to 1.

Smog in Vara 195 City is so bad that fresh air bottles are sold by street vendors, napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, military instructors tire of being asked for another bedtime story by seven-year-old conscripts, and the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 195's national animal is the 9003, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vara 195 is ranked 19,153^rd in the world and 90^th in Eye for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
