The Monarchial Empire of Varola is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King-Emperor Boris Welmington II with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, smutty television, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.98 billion Varolans 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 large, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varolum. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Varolan economy, worth a remarkable 4,236 trillion Varoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 249,503 Varoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's economic policies have a narrow area of effect, the police have nothing to do with the increasing number of 'disappeared', hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varola's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ihdur.

Varola is ranked 6,498^th in the world and 171^st in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 249,503.97 Standard Monetary Units.
