The Kingdom of New Vardarland is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 702 million Vardarlandics hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velesburg. The average income tax rate is 32.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vardarlandic economy, worth 56.8 trillion Vardarlandic Denars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,872 Vardarlandic Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, and preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Vardarland's national animal is the Vardarlandic Mountain Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Vardarland is ranked 52,472^nd in the world and 659^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 675.28 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
