The Imperial Technate of Varavia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by the Imperial Technocratic Council with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.203 billion Varavians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morovira. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Varavian economy, worth 164 trillion Taelis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 136,410 Taelis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime, acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varavia's national animal is the Ferret, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Varavia is ranked 147,119^th in the world and 371^st in Vibonia for Safest, scoring 61.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
