The Great Federation of Vaarland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President of Council Mirna Urunensen with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.374 billion vaarlandeses are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaar. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient vaarlandese economy, worth a remarkable 2,438 trillion vaarlandese crowns a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 260,101 vaarlandese crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, and the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation. Crime is totally unknown. Vaarland's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is secularism.

Vaarland is ranked 771^st in the world and 2^nd in Calme Ybovien for Safest, scoring 168.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
