The Watchers Crown of Varanius is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Vauron with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 10.1 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, moralistic, 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 2,509 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 248,419 Jarlic Jewels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mandatory patriotic themes make even the newest movies feel like remakes, children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, and engineers preemptively order lawyers after every power cut. 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 1,247^th in the world and 25^th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 24,081.22 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
