The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.531 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 8.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,743 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 common. Average income is an amazing 218,975 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Parents who fail mandatory parenting classes risk having their children taken away, unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings, the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, and kitchen patrol is dominated by ten-year-old runts. 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 116,758th in the world and 2,142nd in the South Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 8.25 kickbacks per hour.
