The 2-8 August Ascension Paragon of Markus Sarasti-Varis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mestari Markus Sarasti-Varis with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.733 billion Citizen-Comrades are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand-City Kaleva. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Markus Sarasti-Varisian economy, worth 368 trillion Gold Standard Fennomarks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,941 Gold Standard Fennomarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, teenagers are making eye contact with each other for the first time in years, Mestari Markus Sarasti-Varis can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, and giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Markus Sarasti-Varis's national animal is the White Lynx Viri Septentrionalis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is New Total Society Theory.

Markus Sarasti-Varis is ranked 85,571st in the world and 3rd in The New Social Movement for Most Stationary, with 545.0148595236 days.
