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

The Kingdom of Volletnia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 484 million Volletnians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gzrevna. The average income tax rate is 49.7%.

The all-consuming Volletnian economy, worth 52.0 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,481 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory, vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Volletnian mussels the biggest in The North Pacific, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and members of ethnic minorities are more often called "boy" or "girl" than by their actual names. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volletnia's national animal is the Volletnian Husky, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volletnia is ranked 98,087^th in the world and 4,918^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,063.17 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
