The Federal Republic of Voltroria is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 942 million Voltrorians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koradon. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Voltrorian economy, worth 121 trillion Vølts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,602 Vølts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An enormous health awareness programme is underway, the VBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, owners of man-portable particle accelerator backpacks are advised not to cross the streams, and cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Voltroria's national animal is the Saker Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Voltroria is ranked 9,693rd in the world and 14th in Karma for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 8,515.46 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
