Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Colony World of Boe-shane is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Steward Johnsan with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 23.932 billion Boe-shanis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cosmen. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Boe-shanean economy, worth a remarkable 2,268 trillion galactic credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,787 galactic credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Steward Johnsan's mistress is the belle at many state balls, Cosmen's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, and town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists. Crime is totally unknown. Boe-shane's national animal is the wavebrae, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Boe-shane is ranked 7,108^th in the world and 66^th in Europe for Highest Economic Output, with 2,268 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
