The Green Technocracy of Uan aa Boa is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Subsystem 14 - Ashanti Scent After Rain with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 7.47 billion Boanis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Environment, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aa. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boani economy, worth a remarkable 1,338 trillion jade hearts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 179,192 jade hearts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 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 3,553^rd in the world and 48^th in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 95.74 on the Human Development Index.
