The Republic of Suvarnavarta is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 162 million Suvarnans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 23.1%.

The all-consuming Suvarnan economy, worth 15.7 trillion rūpyas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 97,167 rūpyas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and the national security service are a bunch of crooks. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suvarnavarta's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Suvarnavarta is ranked 42,302^nd in the world and 1,503^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 38.33 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
