The Empire of Varenzia is a fledgling, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6 million Varenzians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 9.1%.

The very strong Varenzian economy, worth 343 billion Condors a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 57,278 Condors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, museums offer moralization or your money back, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Varenzia City as a backdrop, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Varenzia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Varenzia is ranked 112,218^th in the world and 57^th in Sancturia for Most Developed, scoring 59.11 on the Human Development Index.
