The Republic of Bolgatostand is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.065 billion Bolgatostandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bolgatostandian economy, worth 117 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,690 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety, the Federal Council of Bolgatostand has been announced as the new Head of State, product development labs spend most of their money fighting the government's patent infringement lawsuits, and children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bolgatostand's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Bolgatostand is ranked 78,044^th in the world and 116^th in Thaecia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,729.05 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
