The Scarlet Reich of Volmira is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prince Edwin McGee IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.889 billion Volmirans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Volmiran economy, worth 673 trillion Veiches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 173,285 Veiches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
On-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, terrorists who are 17th cousins with the ex-wives of half-brothers of citizens are now exempt from the immigration ban, the government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore, and there is a dearth of space for new houses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volmira's national animal is the White Rhino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zweichschmidtichtvir.
Volmira is ranked 158,764th in the world and 2,287th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 129.19687564728 days.
