The Republic of The Bow and Arrow Pub is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.707 billion Publicans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bow and Arrow Pubian economy, worth 777 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,926 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Bow and Arrow Pub's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Bow and Arrow Pub is ranked 11,749^th in the world and 6^th in Ghosts of Harvard Square for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,887.44 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
