The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.265 billion Volaworandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rothera. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,843 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 231,877 Pound Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nose plugs are the latest Volaworandian fashion accessory, surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', the Volaworandian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Volaworand's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Volaworand is ranked 8,061st in the world and 194th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 105.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
