The Kingdom of Volletnia is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 188 million Volletnians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Volletnian economy, worth 16.4 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,453 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volletnia's national animal is the Volletnian Husky, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volletnia is ranked 55,342^nd in the world and 2,105^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 39.07 quips per hour.
