Security Council
The Red Queendom of Vold is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Queen Iselin I with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 986 million Voldish are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velara. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Voldish economy, worth 78.9 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 79,986 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, reflex hammers and sickle cell research are uniform comrades, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vold's national animal is the firebird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Vold is ranked 307,250th in the world and 261st in Aesica for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.76 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
