The Voluntarist Lands of Violan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Professor Bernardo De La Paz with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 33.391 billion Violanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Administration, with Industry and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catoni. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Violanian economy, worth an astonishing 13,209 trillion gold denarii a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 395,601 gold denarii, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,641,290 per year while the poor average 22,437, a ratio of 117 to 1.
The first sword of Violan does not run, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, and spousal homicide rates have tripled in recent months. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Violan's national animal is the rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Violan is ranked 7,528th in the world and 2nd in Free Market Federation for Most Stationary, with 2,704.13502629692 days.
