The Federal Republic of Varisland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yasmijn Kruiper with a fair hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.118 billion Varislandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varastad. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Varislandic economy, worth a remarkable 2,288 trillion Varislandic Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 250,972 Varislandic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Varastad as a backdrop, the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, and national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Varisland's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Varisland is ranked 290,374^th in the world and 6,327^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.25 kickbacks per hour.
