The Kingdom of Bolesland is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, devout population of 681 million Boleslandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 12.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Boleslandian economy, worth 44.4 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 65,207 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, the new Grand Inquisitor of Righteous Scientific Inquiry has ordered a surprising amount of hemlock, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, and fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal. Crime is almost non-existent. Bolesland's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Bolesland is ranked 165,668^th in the world and 6,937^th in Balder for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 956.94 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
