The Rogue Nation of Volpi Apostati is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord General Kazoko with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.093 billion Volpi Apostatians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fennec Fortress. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volpi Apostatian economy, worth a remarkable 5,152 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 341,371 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Blueriver mercenaries routinely do the army's dirty work, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volpi Apostati's national animal is the Fennec Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Sacred Path of Ræv.

Volpi Apostati is ranked 280,837th in the world and 222nd in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Safest, scoring 5.08 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
