The Commonwealth of Vullconia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Surpreme Overseer Darren Roux with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.884 billion Vullconians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vulcan. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vullconian economy, worth 878 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,314 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

War vets look after war animals, death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", Max Barry is this year's Miss Vullconia, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vullconia's national animal is the Lacertarex, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vullconia is ranked 11,960^th in the world and 28^th in Thaecia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
