The Adjective Noun of Bowzin is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The One and Only with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 8.429 billion Bowzins are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Redemption. The average income tax rate is 43.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Bowzinian economy, worth 879 trillion bots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,323 bots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and the government spends billions to protect Bowzin from a disaster that is one in a million. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bowzin's national animal is the python, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Building.

Bowzin is ranked 250,175^th in the world and 6,540^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
