The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Human Volcanoan economy, worth 572 trillion hot lavas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,872 hot lavas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The world outside is only known of in folklore, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, and the country has essentially become 9.888 billion nations within a nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Human Volcano's national animal is the kanaroot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fire Spirit.
