The Kingdom of Republic of Vareshia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Felix Schmidt with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.568 billion Vareshians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fritzberg. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vareshian economy, worth a remarkable 1,812 trillion Iron Kosovs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 211,557 Iron Kosovs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, a popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)", and people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Vareshia's national animal is the Vareshian ferret, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Republic of Vareshia is ranked 16,384th in the world and 325th in the Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 98 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
