The Bollocks Republic of Bollocksville is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Bollockman Johnsonlarge II with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.407 billion Bollockians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bollocksville City. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bollockian economy, worth 205 trillion bollocks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is 85,211 bollocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bollocksville's national animal is the bollock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bollockism.

Bollocksville is ranked 6,072nd in the world and 1st in Shiseballs for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 58.65 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
