The Republic of Suvarnavarta is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 150 million Suvarnans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 23.2%.

The all-consuming Suvarnan economy, worth 14.4 trillion rūpyas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 95,706 rūpyas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

People caught mistreating Suvarnavarta's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, third world countries are rich in "I Love Suvarnavarta City" t-shirts, Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers, and Suvarnan novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suvarnavarta's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Suvarnavarta is ranked 75,475^th in the world and 2,256^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 92.85 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
