The Technocratic Meritocracy of Bolslania is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Bonifac Koci with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate population of 12.943 billion Bolslanians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keygate. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bolslanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,587 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,653 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Sentient AIs face their watery graves with a fixed smile, only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare, the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, and odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bolslania's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bolslania is ranked 26,117th in the world and 1st in CCC for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
