The Dreadlord of Varimathras is a mammoth, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, enslaved workforce, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.986 billion Varimathrasians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Varimathrasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,135 trillion levs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 162,596 levs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 505,157 per year while the poor average 40,267, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, citizens can freely debate whether Leader is a great leader or the greatest leader, and power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varimathras's national animal is the hyena, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Varimathras is ranked 329,763^rd in the world and 15^th in The Burning Legion for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -17.44 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
