The Department of Var is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Jean-Luc Videlaine with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, devout population of 17.487 billion Varois are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toulon. The average income tax rate is 20.1%.

The strong Varois economy, worth a remarkable 1,180 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 67,491 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The police ransack more houses than criminals do, citizens select which government department gets their income tax francs each year, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, and enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Var's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Var is ranked 114,773^rd in the world and 65^th in Department Store for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,188.84 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
