Volonia employs a judicial system based around the geographical boundaries of the tribunates, with the Caradej Tribunal Court functionally serving as the nation's highest court of appeals as a [[prime court]]. Tribunal courts are comprised of five members serving ten year terms, appointed by the National Tribune and confirmed by the National Assembly. Judicial systems within local areas are organized by the tribunal courts. | Volonia employs a judicial system based around the geographical boundaries of the tribunates, with the Caradej Tribunal Court functionally serving as the nation's highest court of appeals as a [[prime court]].

Volonia is a largely homogeneous nation with over 90 percent of the population self-identifying as being ethnic [[Volonians]], a Slavic ethnic group that have been Latinised due to the many years of being under Caphiric rule. The next-biggest group is the nation's Caphiric minority, making up just over four percent of the population. Many of the Caphiric people in Volonia are descendants of Caphiric settlers in the area back when Volonia was a part of Caphiria. Due to Volonia's close proximity to Caphiria, and most especially since the government sought closer relations with their northern neighbour, the Caphiric minority have generally been treated rather decently. The final three groups are the [[Cartadanians]], the [[Qustantistan|Qustantis]], and an assorted amount of ethnic groups too small to be given their own category. The [[Constitution of Volonia]] as drafted in 1970 guarantees equal rights for all ethnic minorities in Volonia, declaring discrimination based on ethnicity to be unlawful. | |||

The official language of Volonia is {{wp|Romanian language|Sarpo-Volonian}}, or Volonian for short, a Romance language with commonalities with [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]], {{wp|Galician language|Isurian}}, and [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]], though its closest relative may be Larianic. Unlike most other Romance languages, Sarpo-Volonian has historically had a larger share of foreign influences, with its most significant Romance influences being Larianic and [[Charentais language|Charentais]]. Its other influences come from their Slavic-speaking neighbours to their south such as ancient forms of what is now the [[Suratian language]]. Because of this, it is often argued that there are two forms of the Volonian language: Caphiro-Volonian and Suratio-Volonian. Caphiro-Volonian is the most recognised and the official form of Sarpo-Volonian as a direct result of the Volonian government's pro-[[Caphiria]] stance, making use of a Latin-based alphabet much like its relatives and is the form of the Volonian language that can be found in the northern portion of the country. Suratio-Volonian is lesser-known, found only in the southern portion of the country and amongst those who wish to drift Volonia away from Caphiria, and makes use of the Cyrillic script. As implied, what form of the Volonian language being used depends on both geography and geopolitical viewpoints, that being between the mostly pro-Caphiric northerners and the predominately anti-Caphiric southerners. | The official language of Volonia is {{wp|Romanian language|Sarpo-Volonian}}, or Volonian for short, a Romance language with commonalities with [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]], {{wp|Galician language|Isurian}}, and [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]], though its closest relative may be Larianic.
