“Onto Nations We Arouse ”

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

The Democratic Republic of Varahtia is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy. The democratic population of 141 million Varahtians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Varahtian economy, worth 3.92 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,803 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varahtia's national animal is the Bat.

Varahtia is ranked 190,919^th in the world and 5,540^th in the South Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 1 bananas ingested per day.
