The Jingoistic States of Volinovia is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.329 billion Volinovians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paragould. The average income tax rate is 48.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Volinovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,037 trillion Marcs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,804 Marcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, those awarding peace prizes to Volinovians find themselves in pieces, and aid workers deliver life-saving supplies with a devious gleam in their eyes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volinovia's national animal is the Road Runner, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Volinovia is ranked 47,891^st in the world and 36^th in Corsair for Most Developed, scoring 77.83 on the Human Development Index.
