The Emirate of Bokastainia is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 621 million Bokastainians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.3%.

The strong Bokastainian economy, worth 38.3 trillion remeses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,661 remeses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 255,823 per year while the poor average 9,740, a ratio of 26.3 to 1.

Rap artists are regularly arrested for promoting extremist groups, all fantasy fiction has officially been deemed non-canon, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and Bokastainians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bokastainia's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bokastainia is ranked 108,396th in the world and 4,506th in Balder for Safest, scoring 78.79 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
