The Republic of Bovad is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by AnDrÈ oPpEnHeImEr with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, fear of technology, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 4.514 billion BoVaDiAns enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of rErIaToNe. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bovadian economy, worth 595 trillion Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 131,838 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children on trains ask what the weird-looking billboards with arrows are for, the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, "Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up, and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime is totally unknown. Bovad's national animal is the mAnAtEe, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is aThEiSm.

Bovad is ranked 10,548^th in the world and 274^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,537.47 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
