The Republic of Vara 140 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.379 billion Vara 140ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Vara 140ian economy, worth 788 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,555 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 350,743 per year while the poor average 34,764, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.
Pros are the new cons, new treatments are rejected if they cannot be explained using only one-syllable words, epileptic patients switch their medications to whichever has a 'buy one get one free' offer, and private law firms are unheard of. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 140's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Vara 140 is ranked 173,803rd in the world and 163rd in Eye for Most Stationary, with 91.08364309532 days.
