The Republic of Volduria is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 427 million Voldurians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Voldurian economy, worth 18.2 trillion Arges a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 42,649 Arges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, prudishness is on the way out, and body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volduria's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volduria is ranked 231,835th in the world and 7,166th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 23.79895699088 days.
