The Federation of Varnash is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 499 million Varnashia 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kishanalaniya. The average income tax rate is 60.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Varnashi economy, worth 43.8 trillion vanyirs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,709 vanyirs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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.

Varnash is ranked 171,951^st in the world and 97^th in Panam for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 120.3 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
