The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.499 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 8.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,720 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 217,622 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, it's illegal to be caught on tape, and cheese has become the new icon of political dissent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Volaworand's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Volaworand is ranked 28,661^st in the world and 590^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,558.79 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
