The Monarchial Empire of Varola is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King-Emperor Boris Welmington II with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.56 billion Varolans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varolum. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Varolan economy, worth a remarkable 1,805 trillion Varoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 238,762 Varoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the monarch frequently needs protecting from misfiring protection, and the military has gone fission for more funding. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varola's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ihdur.

Varola is ranked 189,768^th in the world and 7,180^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 14.79 Atheism Rate.
