The People's Republic of Varayusha is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Underlord with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 31.208 billion Varayushans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Underwarren Prime. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Varayushan economy, worth an astonishing 22,940 trillion toggle-bolts 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. 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 a breathtaking 735,082 toggle-bolts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varayusha's national animal is the icefang, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is loyalty to the State.
Varayusha is ranked 93rd in the world and 2nd in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 31,769.95 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
