The Kingdom of Variland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Simon IV with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.85 billion Varics 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 government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stanmoore. The average income tax rate is 29.7%.

The thriving Varish economy, worth 162 trillion Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 87,675 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The well-to-do in Europeia are never on time for important appointments, kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers, back-alley holistic doctors carry crystals in long trench coats, and orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Variland's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Variland is ranked 118,743^rd in the world and 378^th in Europeia for Most Influential, scoring 514 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
