The Dead and Gone Realm of Volstokn is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Tsarina Katja Hämäläinen II with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.062 billion Volkish are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volkoniemi. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Volkish economy, worth a remarkable 2,506 trillion Markkaa a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 178,242 Markkaa, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, and vacationing Volkish expect to be treated as royalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volstokn's national animal is the Maned Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Elisimism.
Volstokn is ranked 28,714th in the world and 1,119th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
