The Republic of Vargashinsky District is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its closed borders, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The cynical, devout population of 558 million Vargashinsky Districtians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.6%.

The very strong Vargashinsky Districtian economy, worth 26.4 trillion Ducats a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,270 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', and politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vargashinsky District's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vargashinsky District is ranked 321,941^st in the world and 860^th in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
