The Republic of Violia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 231 million Violians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Violian economy, worth 7.79 trillion Hexdodes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,721 Hexdodes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Violia's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Violia is ranked 79,327^th in the world and 849^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,672.84 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
