The District of Boulderridge is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 17.486 billion Boulderridgeans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.
The strong Boulderridgean economy, worth 926 trillion Juno aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 52,988 Juno aurums, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 299,908 per year while the poor average 4,587, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.
All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Boulderridge has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Boulderridge's national animal is the quick pink fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Boulderridge is ranked 6,596th in the world and 1st in Abidjan for Most Stationary, with 2,871.0274680968 days.
