The Republic of Volvoxian is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 16.207 billion Volvoxianians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 68.5%.

The large but inefficient Volvoxianian economy, worth 765 trillion Microns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 47,232 Microns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and cars are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volvoxian's national animal is the Parasite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volvoxian is ranked 172,055^th in the world and 1^st in Bloodbath for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 218.03 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
