The Rogue Nation of Volksrealm is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.164 billion Volk are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient volkish economy, worth a remarkable 1,348 trillion moneys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 132,662 moneys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime is totally unknown. Volksrealm's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volksrealm is ranked 289,595^th in the world and 307^th in Forest for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.32 kickbacks per hour.
