The Jingoistic Republic of Volinovia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.041 billion Volinovians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paragould. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Volinovian economy, worth a remarkable 1,403 trillion Marcs a year, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,075 Marcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, you need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volinovia's national animal is the Road Runner, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Volinovia is ranked 17,752nd in the world and 429th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 95 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
