The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.328 billion Volaworandians 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 relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rothera. The average income tax rate is 4.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,687 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 217,970 Pound Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Contestants on Volaworand's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, Information Technology facilities are being turned into Penguin habitats, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Volaworand's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Volaworand is ranked 124,408th in the world and 1,690th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 279.0653075092 days.
