The Jingoistic Monarchy of Volinovia is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and smutty television. The hard-nosed population of 7.632 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 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Volinovian economy, worth 995 trillion Marcs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by 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 130,409 Marcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, the "do ya feel lucky, punk?" scene is on the core syllabus at the National Police Academy, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and machine gun nests are the latest must-have gardening trend. 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 11,447th in the world and 327th in The East Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 104,818.15 Standard Monetary Units.
