The White Visitation of Varanius is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Jeremy Wickwire with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 15.281 billion Entities 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Panopticon. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Entitian economy, worth a remarkable 5,058 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 331,041 Jarlic Jewels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Entities suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, the new Entitian-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, and the image of Varanius's future is just a picture from last century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive 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 Church of God the Utterly Indifferent.

Varanius is ranked 196^th in the world and 3^rd in the West Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 26,809.92 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
