The Profound Eminency of Volkarai is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ban-Diùc MacTavish IV with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 9.362 billion Volks enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kirk Yetholm. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Volkaraian economy, worth 464 trillion tasdans a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,653 tasdans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, and the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volkarai's national animal is the tàirngarú, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Pantheon of the Nine Divines.

Volkarai is ranked 255,918^th in the world and 4,477^th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -172.37 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
