The People's Republic of Upper voltaria is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 415 million voltarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haelm. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped voltarian economy, worth 14.6 trillion Rens a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,175 Rens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Ren is worth its weight in gold, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper voltaria's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Upper voltaria is ranked 134,341st in the world and 21st in Warzone Asia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 25,083.68 Standard Monetary Units.
