The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.551 billion Volaworandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rothera. The average income tax rate is 9.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,755 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 219,534 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Volaworand's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Volaworand is ranked 15,975^th in the world and 362^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,357.44 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
