The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.504 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 2,727 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 218,108 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, the government thinks Volaworandians can achieve social cohesion by drinking soda together, the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", and all footpaths have tollbooths. 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 110,690th in the world and 1,937th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,409.06 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
