The Toxic Swamp-Dweller of Vorhollah is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 10.723 billion Vorholskis 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andusre. The average income tax rate is 10.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vorhollahian economy, worth a remarkable 1,733 trillion Vorholskan Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 161,641 Vorholskan Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

All footpaths have tollbooths, a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, cops in Andusre spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vorhollah's national animal is the Bingus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vorhollah is ranked 275,250th in the world and 1,224th in Europeia for Most Extreme, scoring 6.99 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
