The Federal Kingdom of New Vardarland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by PM Josif Znametski with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.203 billion Vardarlanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velesburg. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vardarlandic economy, worth 234 trillion Vardarlandic Drines a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 106,575 Vardarlandic Drines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, Velesburg University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, and artists are pillars of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Vardarland's national animal is the Vardarlandic Mountain Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Vardarland is ranked 272,180^th in the world and 1,038^th in Europe for Largest Black Market, with 65.4 billion Standard Monetary Units.
