The Blazing Heat of Volcanic Island is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrVolcano with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, aversion to nipples, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 35.552 billion Volcanic Islandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of VolcanoCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Volcanic Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,453 trillion magma droplets a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,266 magma droplets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 421,827 per year while the poor average 27,559, a ratio of 15.3 to 1.

The National Art Gallery's newest exhibit is the 500-year-old Luna Lisa, MrVolcano's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, vital infrastructure development is on hold because of 'nature and stuff', and shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volcanic Island's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Volcanic Island is ranked 2,522^nd in the world and 26^th in Nederland for Largest Populations, with 35.6 billion capita.
