The Trenchant Order of The Voltarum is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leita O'Shea with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 44.452 billion Voltaru enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ohm. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Voltaru economy, worth a remarkable 8,610 trillion volts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 193,695 volts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Anti-government web sites are springing up, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, and Voltaru Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Voltarum's national animal is the electric sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Voltarum is ranked 17,334th in the world and 16th in Antarctica for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 303.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
