The Watchers Crown of Varanius is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Vauron with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.206 billion Entities are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zygotia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Entitian economy, worth a remarkable 2,008 trillion Jarlic Jewels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 218,196 Jarlic Jewels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal control is going door-to-door releasing all pets back into the wild, Entities have recently stopped mysteriously setting off metal detectors, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, and the Motherland's muscle-bound athletes won 786 medals at the last United The West Pacific Games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varanius's national animal is the Thing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ego-Varaism.

Varanius is ranked 275,548^th in the world and 3,753^rd in the West Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -9.8 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
