The All for the love of you of David Bowman is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, avant-garde cinema, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.941 billion David Bowmanians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 54.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient David Bowmanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,098 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 107,053 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, the sun now sets on the David Bowmanian Empire, and there is one competing standard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. David Bowman's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

David Bowman is ranked 80,500th in the world and 8th in BLITZKRIEG for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,229.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
