The Republic of Variz

“Freedom in God”

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

The Republic of Variz is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Albert Mensah with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.05 billion Varizians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beulah. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Varizian economy, worth 126 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 120,785 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, there's a hole in the heart of every Varizian city, the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, and no one is quite sure what many government officials look like. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Variz's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Variz is ranked 82,197^th in the world and 20^th in Lorania for Most Secular, with 18.01 Atheism Rate.
