The People's Republic of Varayusha is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Underlord with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 36.091 billion Varayushans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Underwarren Prime. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Varayushan economy, worth an astonishing 26,663 trillion toggle-bolts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 738,791 toggle-bolts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and foreign invaders are putting Varayushan lab rats out of a job. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varayusha's national animal is the icefang, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is loyalty to the State.

Varayusha is ranked 5^th in the world and 1^st in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 19,614.34 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
