The Commonwealth of Bow Cand is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 296 million Bow Candians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Bow Candian economy, worth 8.32 trillion horns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 28,113 horns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, and wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bow Cand's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bow Cand is ranked 292,471^st in the world and 197^th in Karma for Most Developed, scoring 46.94 on the Human Development Index.
