The Federal Republic of Varisland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Yasmijn Kruiper with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.025 billion Varislandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varastad. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Varislandic economy, worth a remarkable 2,261 trillion Varislandic Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 250,632 Varislandic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, and the fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Varisland's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Varisland is ranked 19,243^rd in the world and 741^st in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
