The Confederation of Volkerben is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Wolfgang Von Hyde with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.009 billion Volkbaineans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fürstenkamp. The average income tax rate is 88.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Volkbainean economy, worth 592 trillion Volksmarks 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 98,620 Volksmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", the police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and golden statues of Red Cliff Eagles line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Volkerben's national animal is the Red Cliff Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Volkerben is ranked 168,320th in the world and 172nd in The Wellspring for Most Stationary, with 105.95283496792 days.
