The United Kingdom of Bostoniax is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Phoenix Wolfsong with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, disturbing lack of elderly people, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 11.413 billion Bostoniaxians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolfhaven. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bostoniaxian economy, worth a remarkable 3,957 trillion Gils a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 346,751 Gils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, all recreational drugs are legal, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bostoniax's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Naturism.

Bostoniax is ranked 294,435th in the world and 11,272nd in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
