The Free Land of Botakbotan is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 20.482 billion Botakians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Daruvvihara. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Botakbotanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,743 trillion kacangs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,105 kacangs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Botakbotan's national animal is the anchovy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Botakbotan is ranked 58,626^th in the world and 2^nd in Khuzifenq for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,577.76 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
