The Watchers Crown of Varanius is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Vauron with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 10.036 billion Entities are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zygotia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Entitian economy, worth a remarkable 2,481 trillion Jarlic Jewels 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 247,275 Jarlic Jewels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Varanius has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varanius's national animal is the Thing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ego-Varaism.

Varanius is ranked 848^th in the world and 11^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 176.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
