The Holy Mother's State of Volkovgorod is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Tsarina Lumi Borislav with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.272 billion Volkovians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Okuriyama. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Volkovian economy, worth 938 trillion Tomis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 113,498 Tomis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 409,698 per year while the poor average 22,461, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

Artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui, group hugs break out during floor votes, the government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore, and peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Volkovgorod's national animal is the Imperial Dire Wolf and its national religion is Orthodox Solitheism.

Volkovgorod is ranked 20,524^th in the world and 2^nd in the Yomese Empire for Nicest Citizens, with 22.3 average smiles per day.
