The Democratic Republic of Northern Volnia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 294 million Northern Volnians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vonagrut. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Volnian economy, worth 26.1 trillion Volnian Shroes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,812 Volnian Shroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Northern Volnians. Crime is totally unknown. Northern Volnia's national animal is the Volnian Zubr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northern Volnia is ranked 15,198^th in the world and 38^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 116.34 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
