The National Bolshevik Union of Varkaria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vozhd Magnus Reinhard with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.627 billion Varkarians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zitadelle. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Varkarian economy, worth 557 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 153,787 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pausing for applause during a speech is seen as a form of censorship, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', and dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varkaria's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is national-bolshevism.

Varkaria is ranked 41,487th in the world and 2,772nd in Lazarus for Largest Governments, scoring 24.17 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
