The Hateful of Varanius is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Vauron with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 11.051 billion Entities are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zygotia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Entitian economy, worth a remarkable 2,942 trillion Jarlic Jewels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 266,292 Jarlic Jewels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, enterprising game developers are a hop, skip, and a double-jump away from arrest, and the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varanius's national animal is the thing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ego-Varaism.

Varanius is ranked 1,364^th in the world and 19^th in the West Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 249,952.89 Standard Monetary Units.
