The Community of Volkshavn is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 265 million Volkshavnites are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Volkisch economy, worth 10.3 trillion Volksmarks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,842 Volksmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, murderers with law degrees can be seen swinging the gavel in courts, the National Art Gallery's newest exhibit is the 500-year-old Luna Lisa, and truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volkshavn's national animal is the Red Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volkshavn is ranked 257,813^th in the world and 70^th in Der Leibwache for Most Developed, scoring 52.08 on the Human Development Index.
