The Organic Commonwealth of Uan aa Boa is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Humanist Council with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, lack of airports, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, humorless population of 10.405 billion Boanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Environment, although Education, Social Policy, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aa. The average income tax rate is 2.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Boani economy, worth 338 trillion labour notes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 32,578 labour notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, "The Humanist Council got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, and arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Uan aa Boa's national animal is the solidarity bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Uan aa Boa is ranked 274,356^th in the world and 323^rd in Forest for Most Avoided, scoring 0.35 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
