The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.593 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 prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rothera. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,768 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 219,838 Pound Sterlings, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

The statue in the Barbossa Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, and lifeguards are stationed on the streets during rainstorms. 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 3,585^th in the world and 96^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 651.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
