The Commonwealth of Boolaroo is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Harry Potter with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 43.723 billion Boolarooans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hogwarts. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boolarooan economy, worth a remarkable 3,817 trillion dollars a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,304 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, the government nonchalantly sells old nukes to other countries, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, and nobody is allowed to mention what religion terrorists follow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boolaroo's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Boolaroo is ranked 8,920th in the world and 9th in Hell for Lowest Crime Rates, with 103.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
