The Social Republic of Republic of La Boca is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Valentín Barco with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 16.54 billion Boquenses are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quilmes. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Boquense economy, worth a remarkable 3,337 trillion Boquense peso convertibles a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 201,759 Boquense peso convertibles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, in court almost every witness is a hostile witness, and cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of La Boca's national animal is the Dachshund, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.
Republic of La Boca is ranked 47,075th in the world and 2nd in Libertas Magna for Most Cultured, scoring 72 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
