The New of Bostro is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Markus Persson with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.308 billion Bostroans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bostroan economy, worth 378 trillion Kronor a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,011 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fate of the world literally rests on Markus Persson's fingers, pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes, the latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, and weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bostro's national animal is the Giraff, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bostro is ranked 5,730^th in the world and 152^nd in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 148 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
