The Commonwealth of Boolaroo is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Harry Potter with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 43.798 billion Boolarooans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hogwarts. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boolarooan economy, worth a remarkable 3,827 trillion dollars a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,394 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, students do more community service than homework, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", and the family of Harry Potter bite their thumbs at paparazzi intrusions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boolaroo's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Boolaroo is ranked 286,913th in the world and 200th in Hell for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.52 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
