The Great Federation of Vaarland is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Mirna Urunensen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.076 billion vaarlandais are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaar. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient vaarlandais economy, worth a remarkable 2,003 trillion Vaarlandese crowns a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 248,128 Vaarlandese crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, much of Vaarland's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. Crime is totally unknown. Vaarland's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is secularism.

Vaarland is ranked 1,189th in the world and 1st in New Beberia for Safest, scoring 159.83 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
