The Federal Hanseatic Republic of Volkersland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Konrad Neumann with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.25 billion Volkerslanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volkersstadt. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volkerslandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,986 trillion Volkerlander Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 193,773 Volkerlander Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, future leaders of Volkersland regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and the endangered saltwater humpback Pink Lion is only seen in captivity programs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volkersland's national animal is the Pink Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volkersland is ranked 11,181^st in the world and 120^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 54.76 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
