The Allied States of Great Boyania

“Bow Before the Eternal Leader of Our Great Nation”

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

The Allied States of Great Boyania is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, enforced nudity, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 809 million Workers 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Our Great Leader's Humble Estate. The average income tax rate is 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Great Boyanian economy, worth 34.5 trillion golden leaves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 42,640 golden leaves, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Those who cut young children are told to cut it out, the diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and people forget to eat because they are too busy singing Leader's praises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Boyania's national animal is the great hammerhead shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Great Boyania is ranked 19,096^th in the world and 443^rd in NationStates for Most Patriotic, with 48.51 flags saluted per person per day.
