The Free Land of Voxmire is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 239 million Voxians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 26.9%.

The powerhouse Voxmirean economy, worth 19.0 trillion Liets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 79,515 Liets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Popular candidates who don't suffer last-second political scandals tend to get fished out of the Voxmire City River, kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, and the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Voxmire's national animal is the Will o' the Wisp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Voxmire is ranked 106,510^th in the world and 149^th in Declansburg for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,784.68 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
