The Penguinite Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.436 billion Volaworandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rothera. The average income tax rate is 5.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,743 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 220,579 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, the tenet of free speech is held dear, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, and behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos. 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 19,184^th in the world and 414^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
