The Community of Volkovn is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kamchatka Proudmoore with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, feral children, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.08 billion Volkovnians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morosk. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volkovnian economy, worth 227 trillion chelyuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 109,609 chelyuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, when their backs are against the walls Volkovnians look out for gay men, and economic planning is exalted as a human art form. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volkovn's national animal is the arctic wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Winterism.

Volkovn is ranked 325,448^th in the world and 12^th in Coalition of Radiant Atlantic Lobsters for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 19.27 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
