The Greater Union of Voik is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Keegan XVI with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 37.058 billion Voikians 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 enormous government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jiffers. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Voikian economy, worth a remarkable 5,857 trillion tothecoins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,071 tothecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Voik's national animal is the Killer Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Internet.

Voik is ranked 28,308^th in the world and 4^th in 00000 A World Power for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 259.02 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
