The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.524 billion Volaworandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rothera. The average income tax rate is 8.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,742 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 218,975 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

People think garlic bread counts as one of their "five a day", third world countries are rich in "I Love Rothera" t-shirts, parents who fail mandatory parenting classes risk having their children taken away, and unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Volaworand's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Volaworand is ranked 15,668^th in the world and 446^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 116.25 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
