Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Confederacy of Vargr Corsairs is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Florence Ambrose with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 11.666 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lair Family Fun Center. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Gambling.

Morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, Hamster is one of the most popular forenames in Vargr Corsairs, and truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vargr Corsairs's national animal is the Hamster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Fang.

Vargr Corsairs is ranked 21st in Firefly and 129,734th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -164 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
