The Trebuchet of Flaming Onions of Varanius The Second is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its closed borders, infamous sell-swords, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.098 billion Varanius The Secondians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Varanius The Secondian economy, worth a remarkable 1,518 trillion Flaming Onions a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 166,918 Flaming Onions, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 638,106 per year while the poor average 30,172, a ratio of 21.1 to 1.
Abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics, posters on 'Varanius The Secondian Values' advise against being proud of Varanius The Second, motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, and a soldier's body is a temple. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varanius The Second's national animal is the Baby of Doom.
