The Republic of Suvarnavarta is a very large, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, hard-working population of 134 million Suvarnans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26.9%.

The all-consuming Suvarnan economy, worth 12.8 trillion rūpyas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 95,496 rūpyas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, board shorts have replaced board rooms, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and Suvarnans seem to be catching more chills. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suvarnavarta's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Suvarnavarta is ranked 160,526^th in the world and 3,473^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 267.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
