The Republic of Bostaria is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 807 million Bostarians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vermondale. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bostarian economy, worth 64.6 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,038 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, Bostaria has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bostaria's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bostaria is ranked 12,282^nd in the world and 112^th in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 54.76 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
