The Republic of Varnigodsk is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Vladimir Vladislavovych Grodsky with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.961 billion Varnigodskians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varnigorod. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Varnigodskian economy, worth a remarkable 2,401 trillion Varnillian Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 185,311 Varnillian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, funeral mourners ridesharing with the deceased are encouraged to sit on the coffin to save room, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Varnigodsk's national animal is the Aquila Heliaca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

Varnigodsk is ranked 42,119^th in the world and 2,239^th in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
