The Republic of Vara 48 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.669 billion Vara 48ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Defense, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vara 48ian economy, worth 917 trillion baht a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 137,551 baht, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, residents of ageing concrete tower blocks have vital renovation work stopped by Brutalism enthusiasts, the people have taken "Hail Leader" as an invitation to lob rocks, and artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vara 48's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vara 48 is ranked 281,081^st in the world and 840^th in Eye for Most Primitive, scoring -357.4 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
