The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand

“TSP's first and favorite penguin criminal overlord”

Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.586 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,767 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 reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 219,874 Pound Sterlings, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Nudity is frowned upon, the statue in the Harishchandra Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Volaworand's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Volaworand is ranked 68,826^th in the world and 1,284^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,492.56 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
