The Lenlyvitian Colony of Terra Voltera is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Kagawi Yuuki with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The quiet, industrious population of 16.974 billion Volterans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quarendus. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Terra Volteran economy, worth 665 trillion Voltramarks 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, quite specialized black market in Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 39,218 Voltramarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheists on vacation find Solism's scriptures make useful doorstops, the bureaucracy's scale makes the trees wail, pharmacists increasingly claim they are morally obligated to take long lunches, and the price of freedom is about half a million Voltramarks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Terra Voltera's national animal is the Lenlyvalk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Solism.

Terra Voltera is ranked 139,626th in the world and 50th in The Hole To Hide In for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,063.19 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
