The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 90.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Vara 7ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,139 trillion Object Permanences a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 159,630 Object Permanences, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, citizens may now wear shoes while watching television as long as the television is outside and the shoes are rental, the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad, and multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vara 7's national animal is the Question Mark, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
