The Reluctant Revenant of Volstrostia is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alison with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.052 billion catgirls 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient catgirlese economy, worth a remarkable 1,943 trillion Flemmings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 214,683 Flemmings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Alison's throne, the media seems excessively interested in what Alison is wearing this season, the nation is known abroad for fast food and nothing else, and the nation honors the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered catgirlese weed picker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volstrostia's national animal is the catgirl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Malice.

Volstrostia is ranked 13,368th in the world and 778th in Osiris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,449.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
