The Socialist Paradise of Vulcanus is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by KeDerest Folley with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical population of 39.187 billion Vulcanusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pielavesi. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vulcanusian economy, worth a remarkable 8,193 trillion Drolphs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 209,087 Drolphs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Vulcanusians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vulcanus's national animal is the Nomoi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vulcanus is ranked 2,137^th in the world and 25^th in The Leftist Assembly for Safest, scoring 146.81 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
