The Republic of Vara 125 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.578 billion Vara 125ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Vara 125ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,000 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 152,170 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 449,787 per year while the poor average 40,460, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

You can be fired for dyeing grey hairs, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, the police insist that racism does not exist, and the nation is known abroad for fast food and nothing else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 125's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vara 125 is ranked 249,605^th in the world and 303^rd in Eye for Most Primitive, scoring -150.89 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
