The Holy Imperial War Machine of Volcanislavia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by God-Emperor Magnethands with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.755 billion Volcanislavians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maximum Security Citadel X. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Volcanislavian economy, worth a remarkable 3,259 trillion gold sovereigns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 236,935 gold sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, God-Emperor Magnethands is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, the police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, and royal processions are often mistaken for pride parades. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volcanislavia's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volcanislavia is ranked 6,165^th in the world and 13^th in Gay for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
