The Republic of Vara 2 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.378 billion Vara 2ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Vara 2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,008 trillion Object Permanences a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 136,683 Object Permanences, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 385,827 per year while the poor average 38,760, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, the military is plagued with unethical researchers, doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality, and planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 2's national animal is the Question Mark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vara 2 is ranked 172,812th in the world and 28th in Eye for Most Stationary, with 92.6099060074 days.
