The Social Republic of Vulkland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, humorless population of 27.878 billion Vulklanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arbeitstat. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Vulks economy, worth a remarkable 2,341 trillion labor hours a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 83,976 labor hours, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, the justice of Vulkland is considered superior to that of other nations, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime is totally unknown. Vulkland's national animal is the red fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vulkland is ranked 37,220^th in the world and 2,378^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
