The Republic of Vara 28 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.882 billion Vara 28ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Vara 28ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,083 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 157,460 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget, many believe that the only good unicorn is a dead unicorn, and citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 28's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Vara 28 is ranked 239,337th in the world and 592nd in Eye for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
