The Republic of Varavano is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Julia Vernatti with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.911 billion Varavanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lilianaso. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Varavanoan economy, worth a remarkable 9,515 trillion Vanoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 307,848 Vanoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", and more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varavano's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Varavano is ranked 290,554^th in the world and 216^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.21 kickbacks per hour.
