The Republic of Vara 92 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.974 billion Vara 92ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 52.5%.
The powerhouse Vara 92ian economy, worth 257 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,722 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, and travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Vara 92 flights to avoid the pay lavatories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 92's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Vara 92 is ranked 46,377th in the world and 2,227th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,957.77 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
