The Sultanate of Boogatopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Great Despotic One with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 38.075 billion Boogatopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Echistein. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Boogatopian economy, worth an astonishing 13,163 trillion yuris a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 345,727 yuris, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,569,853 per year while the poor average 46,632, a ratio of 33.7 to 1.
Claims adjusters are uselessly vague, insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, and the only thing slower than the economy is the exchange where it's managed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Boogatopia's national animal is the bunny girl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of the Despot.
Boogatopia is ranked 55,004th in the world and 974th in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,575.35 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
