Vara 7

The Republic of Vara 7 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.035 billion Vara 7ians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Vara 7ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,101 trillion Object Permanences a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 156,513 Object Permanences, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise, the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, and the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 7's national animal is the Question Mark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vara 7 is ranked 172,769th in the world and 33rd in Eye for Most Stationary, with 92.60748934228 days.
