The Kingdom of Volkovograd is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 581 million Volkovogradians 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 45.6%.

The strong Volkovogradian economy, worth 27.1 trillion Marks a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,675 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation is compulsory, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volkovograd's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Volkovograd is ranked 112,649^th in the world and 5,889^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,748.79 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
