The Kingdom of New Vulcan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Brook Elaine with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.124 billion New Vulcanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Copper City. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Vulcanian economy, worth 285 trillion Xals a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 134,451 Xals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound, and convicted murderers are free to walk the streets provided they attend rehabilitation classes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vulcan's national animal is the phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Vulcan is ranked 69,721^st in the world and 53^rd in Eladria for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,956.74 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
