The Regency of Botizia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Franz Gneisenau with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.804 billion Botizians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neue Ulm. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Botizian economy, worth a remarkable 2,462 trillion Goldmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 208,573 Goldmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, interest in globalism never flags, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and hospitals in Botizia are too busy serving the needs of Europe to see Botizians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Botizia's national animal is the Swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Botizia is ranked 211,545^th in the world and 992^nd in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4.24 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
