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

The Republic of Vara 38 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.807 billion Vara 38ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vara 38ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,282 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 188,403 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 541,726 per year while the poor average 52,073, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, television executives are interested in turning Leader's zany home life into a sitcom, and God took rock and roll from you, took rock and roll from everyone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 38's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vara 38 is ranked 106,827^th in the world and 425^th in Eye for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,085.12 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
