The Red Queendom of Vold is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Queen Iselin I with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.132 billion Voldish are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velara. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Voldish economy, worth 107 trillion Kronor a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,138 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Voldish Navy, pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, and male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vold's national animal is the firebird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vold is ranked 52,249^th in the world and 29^th in Aesica for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 5,209.24 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
