The Black Circus of Boris Cult is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Shōkan with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.259 billion Borisians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osaka. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Borisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,096 trillion Currency Of Times 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 amazing 495,951 Currency Of Times, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Shōkan to cartoon bears, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and EpiPen sales have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boris Cult's national animal is the Flowerhorns, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Novgorodian Vorinism.
Boris Cult is ranked 303,745th in the world and 309th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Most Cultured, scoring 29 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
