The Kingdom of Bodeli is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 5.833 billion Bodelians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 53.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Bodelian economy, worth 367 trillion Dirrs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,974 Dirrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bodeli's national animal is the tapir, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is christianity.

Bodeli is ranked 65,758^th in the world and 1^st in Ascensionsen for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,931.36 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
