The Republic of Vara 119 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.562 billion Vara 119ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vara 119ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,114 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 169,906 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 490,651 per year while the poor average 46,679, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, the team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, and young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 119's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vara 119 is ranked 20,216^th in the world and 17^th in Eye for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,020.89 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
