The Toxic Swamp-Dweller of Vorhollah is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.492 billion Vorholskis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andusre. The average income tax rate is 8.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vorhollahian economy, worth a remarkable 1,505 trillion Vorholskan Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 158,591 Vorholskan Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, most citizens in Vorhollah are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, a byzantine web of conspiracies and secret alliances must be navigated any time legislation is voted upon, and dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vorhollah's national animal is the Bingus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vorhollah is ranked 50,235^th in the world and 259^th in Europeia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,329.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
