The People's Republic of Violene Islands is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Sávra Lónzteil with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.917 billion Violene Islanders 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 enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Látta. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Violene economy, worth 644 trillion pavots 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 131,085 pavots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, and replacement organs are grown in vats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Violene Islands's national animal is the fur seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Violene Islands is ranked 5,397^th in the world and 150^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,655.92 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
