The Kingdom of Bowzeria is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Günter the Great with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.379 billion Bowzerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bowzeria Mines. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Bowzerian economy, worth 852 trillion Groschens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 101,698 Groschens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, and female brains are believed to heat up dangerously when 'overclocked'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bowzeria's national animal is the Slug, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Slugism.

Bowzeria is ranked 154,568th in the world and 3rd in World Decolonisation Hub for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 591.51 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
