The Republic of Suvarnavarta is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 116 million Suvarnans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 25.9%.

The all-consuming Suvarnan economy, worth 10.8 trillion rūpyas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 93,371 rūpyas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, and trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Suvarnavarta's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Suvarnavarta is ranked 242,080^th in the world and 4,876^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -130.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
