The Republic of Grandmaster Varka is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The democratic, devout population of 2.683 billion Knights hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Knights of Favonius economy, worth 103 trillion moras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,619 moras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent. Grandmaster Varka's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Grandmaster Varka is ranked 261,500^th in the world and 92^nd in Xianzhou Alliance for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 13.18 Effective Tax Rate.
