The Grand Swamp of Voxmire is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Shaman Eillio with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.261 billion Voxians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gilded Lotus. The average income tax rate is 43.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Voxmirean economy, worth 505 trillion Liets a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 118,645 Liets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Grand Shaman Eillio is called 'Patches' at international summits, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, students abandon classrooms for online education, and octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it. 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, and its national religion is Naaki.

Voxmire is ranked 80,075^th in the world and 99^th in Declansburg for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,203.19 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
