The Republic of Varcoquiva is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions. The hard-working, cynical population of 146 million Varcoquivans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.2%.
The strong Varcoquivan economy, worth 6.41 trillion Liuruses a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,910 Liuruses, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.
Exploding toys that leak battery acid are back in the shops after the government declared child safety 'over-rated', rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, and cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varcoquiva's national animal is the Mahe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Varcoquiva is ranked 117,431st in the world and 2,941st in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 19.93 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
