The Tsaral Realm of Volstokn is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Tsarina Katja Hämäläinen II with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.362 billion Volkish are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volkoniemi. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volkish economy, worth a remarkable 1,302 trillion Markkaa a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 176,929 Markkaa, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, and vacationing Volkish expect to be treated as royalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volstokn's national animal is the Maned Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Elisimism.

Volstokn is ranked 2,464^th in the world and 95^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 1,111 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
