The Allied Federation of Voryan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Zraben II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.587 billion Voranians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trialta. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Voranian economy, worth a remarkable 2,942 trillion Verns 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 177,400 Verns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomats are all talk and no action, reassembling shredded papers is the highlight of a spy's day, a formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, and naval armadas borrow their formations from synchronized swimming handbooks. Crime is totally unknown. Voryan's national animal is the Hawksbill Sea Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Voryan is ranked 33,882^nd in the world and 2^nd in The Exarchal Republic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
