The Republic of Vara 142 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, fear of technology, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.542 billion Vara 142ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 76.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Vara 142ian economy, worth 869 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 132,869 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
A stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal, the Gallery of Amusing Cat Photographs is the most popular museum in the country, Vara 142ian soldiers know how to create single mothers in more ways than one, and white chocolate is neither chocolate nor food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 142's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Vara 142 is ranked 17,836th in the world and 253rd in Eye for Most Corrupt Governments, with 108.91 kickbacks per hour.
