The Republic of Voloskia 1 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The devout population of 699 million Voloskians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Voloskia 1ian economy, worth 50.8 trillion volsks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,694 volsks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Industry leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Voloskia 1ian emissions at all, theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Voloskia 1's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Voloskia 1 is ranked 260,322^nd in the world and 262^nd in Volikara Puppet Storage for Most Primitive, scoring -134.34 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
