The Federal Kingdom of New Vardarland is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by PM Marko Ljubanov with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.747 billion Vardarlanders enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velesburg. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vardarlandic economy, worth 655 trillion Vardarlandic Drines a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 114,128 Vardarlandic Drines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Velesburg University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, artists are pillars of society, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Vardarland's national animal is the Vardarlandic Mountain Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Vardarland is ranked 30,272^nd in the world and 367^th in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 74,887 Standard Monetary Units.
