The Kingdom of Volo is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.86 billion Voloans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Spirituality also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 17.1%.

The Voloan economy, worth 183 trillion Pokémon dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,545 Pokémon dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, more and more students are taking up a career in medicine, and hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts. Crime is well under control. Volo's national animal is the monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volo is ranked 176,637^th in the world and 1,836^th in Ambition for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 364.5 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
