The Federal Republic of Voley is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 127 million Voleyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.4%.

The Voleyian economy, worth 7.11 trillion Voleyian Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Average income is 55,950 Voleyian Rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 184,162 per year while the poor average 12,735, a ratio of 14.5 to 1.

Watching shooting stars is Voleyians' number two favorite pastime, the police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, and advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Voley's national animal is the Cow.

Voley is ranked 74,295^th in the world and 7^th in ulslo for Nicest Citizens, with 15.9 average smiles per day.
