The Chill Zone of Boszap is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dyex with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 12.703 billion Bosseses are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clam City. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boszapian economy, worth a remarkable 1,996 trillion toonamis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 157,187 toonamis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, nerds everywhere are rejoicing as they are reunited with their computers, and over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boszap's national animal is the Dogoocatto, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bebopcomputer.

Boszap is ranked 13,460th in the world and 115th in the West Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,630.11 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
