The Russian Friendliness of Boris Vasilov is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by James Ferraday with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, feral children, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.516 billion Boris Vasilovians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zebra IS. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.8%.

The very strong Boris Vasilovian economy, worth 778 trillion Rubles a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,625 Rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 201,971 per year while the poor average 17,719, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

The question of 'what is James Ferraday's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and the Zebra IS Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boris Vasilov's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Boris Vasilov is ranked 106,831^st in the world and 4^th in Zebra Ice Station for Most Patriotic, with 15.66 flags saluted per person per day.
