The Kingdom of New Vulcan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gabriella Molter with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.978 billion New Vulcanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Copper City. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Vulcanian economy, worth 250 trillion Xals a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,587 Xals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, smoking is banned in public areas, and new regulations have put a halt to monkey business. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vulcan's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Vulcan is ranked 248,675^th in the world and 162^nd in Eladria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
