The Republic of Boleru is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 480 million Boleruans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Endstone's City. The average income tax rate is 41.3%.

The Boleruan economy, worth 17.9 trillion New sun boleruans a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,329 New sun boleruans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody likes bad boys any more, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, and international trade is a sticky issue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boleru's national animal is the quail, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Boleru is ranked 274,487th in the world and 3,792nd in the Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.74 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
