The Auphelia Loving Kleptocracy of Volaworand is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Acting Prime Minister Alan Duncan with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 13.432 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, although Environment, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rothera. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volaworandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,272 trillion pound sterlings a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 243,612 pound sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, politicians have tenure, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Volaworand's national animal is the vampire, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Volaworand is ranked 115,536^th in the world and 2,340^th in the South Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 58.67 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
