The Twin Starred Federation of Varnash is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Acting-Chancellor Rasheri Jasiansh with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 327 million Varnashia, 90 million of whom are zombies, 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kishanalaniya. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Varnashi economy, worth 158 trillion vanyirs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,369 vanyirs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison visits increase substantially during election years, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, newspapers are running a front-page picture of Acting-Chancellor Rasheri Jasiansh holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, and journalists often nap through tedious police press briefings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varnash's national animal is the ermine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shaniasa.

Varnash is ranked 304,007^th in the world and 327^th in Panam for Nudest, with 13 cheeks per square mile.
