The Free Land of Varhat is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by no one in particular with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.005 billion Varhatians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nehemiah. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Varhatian economy, worth 386 trillion Ingrands a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 128,332 Ingrands, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 416,768 per year while the poor average 29,795, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

The government is lending a hand to private industry, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Varhat's national animal is the Chihuahua, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Varhat is ranked 134,558th in the world and 6th in VinCorp for Most Developed, scoring 57.35 on the Human Development Index.
