The Democratic Republic of Bourgeoiss is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Leader of the Revolution with an iron fist, and notable for its lack of airports, fear of technology, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.525 billion Bourgeoissians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Revolutionary Command Council. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Bourgeoissian economy, worth a remarkable 1,136 trillion Military Payment Certificates a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 322,458 Military Payment Certificates, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Hipster cyclists declare that "metal is dead", government officials who do an offal job get smoked, decreased demand for toilets is saving the prison service a lot of money, and children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bourgeoiss's national animal is the Marshal of the Army Kitty, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Will of the Great Leader.

Bourgeoiss is ranked 11,824th in the world and 41st in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,071.75 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
