The Join Talonia 🦅 of Volkstonia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by President Severin Kielholz with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.768 billion Volkstonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volksord. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Volkstonian economy, worth 723 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 125,466 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gambling is outlawed, Violetist Trivinism has been named as Volkstonia's national religion, scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, and the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volkstonia's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetist Trivinism.

Volkstonia is ranked 303,983rd in the world and 1,079th in Talonia for Most Cultured, scoring 41 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
