“Crescit eundo.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Boldia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Stephen Isakov with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 18.116 billion Boldians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Littlewood. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boldian economy, worth a remarkable 2,082 trillion crowns a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,957 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, internet sites are legally unable to stop their users from posting pornography, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime is totally unknown. Boldia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Boldia is ranked 275,810^th in the world and 279^th in Forest for Most Patriotic, with 0.61 flags saluted per person per day.
