The Commonwealth of Volkason is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Maxymilian Falon Lucien Volkason with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 7.755 billion Volkasonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Talongaurd. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volkasonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,302 trillion Talons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,901 Talons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Talongaurd Natural History Museum, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and citizens are now allowed to discuss whether Maxymilian Falon Lucien Volkason is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volkason's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Primordial Dragon Asha.

Volkason is ranked 180,226th in the world and 4,097th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 77.13975618608 days.
