The Federal Republic of Varisland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Yasmijn Kruiper with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.088 billion Varislandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varastad. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Varislandic economy, worth a remarkable 2,275 trillion Varislandic Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 250,391 Varislandic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, shopping comes bagged and tagged, sofas are perpetually on sales that Must End Soon, and the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Varisland's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Varisland is ranked 9,366^th in the world and 379^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,523.49 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
