The Armed Republic of Volkfreiheit is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 606 million Volkfreiheitians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 61.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Volkfreiheitian economy, worth 25.0 trillion volks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 41,175 volks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, euthanasia is illegal, the official Volkfreiheitian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volkfreiheit's national animal is the German shepherd, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volkfreiheit is ranked 238,958^th in the world and 4^th in The Vanguard Sphere for Highest Average Incomes, with 41,175.62 Standard Monetary Units.
