The Trenchant Order of The Voltarum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leita O'Shea with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 44.139 billion Voltaru are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
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 8,563 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 194,014 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 1,411th in the world and 4th in Antarctica for Lowest Crime Rates, with 157.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
