The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.563 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 9.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,754 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 219,259 Pound Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Volaworandian citizenship in droves, the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. 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 15,678^th in the world and 442^nd in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 116.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
