The Golden Stratocracy of Great Bulkaran is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by General Winter with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avant-garde cinema, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.342 billion Bulkularians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Fortress. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Great Bulkaranian economy, worth 344 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,439 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead, the taste of spices can sail a thousand ships, the green glow is a sign of clean energy, and kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Bulkaran's national animal is the Rarog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is UltraNationalist Atomic Orthodox.

Great Bulkaran is ranked 61,351^st in the world and 38^th in Hell for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 11,627.49 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
