The Hellfire Federation of Volcanus Island is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Mystogan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 19.943 billion Volcanus Islanders are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Public Transport, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zweinstein. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.4%.

The strong Volcanus economy, worth 917 trillion Plasma Kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 45,995 Plasma Kronor, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Mystogan is the self-declared God of all Volcanus Island, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Volcanus Island's national animal is the Jaguar and its national religion is Fire GOD CLOCKism.

Volcanus Island is ranked 131,366th in the world and 22nd in The Universe for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
