The Dharma Bums of Voyag is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.841 billion Voyagers 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Voyagian economy, worth 128 trillion voys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is 69,821 voys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, t-shirts displaying a photo of Leader performing the Full-Monty are selling out, tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, and government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary. Crime is totally unknown. Voyag's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Voyag is ranked 57,443rd in the world and 28th in Atlanticana for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,428.52 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
