The Democratic Republic of Bodhisva is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.897 billion Bodhisvans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Still Waters. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bodhisvan economy, worth 817 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 209,870 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, and left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bodhisva's national animal is the yak, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mahāyāna Buddhism.

Bodhisva is ranked 289,222^nd in the world and 6,259^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -591.38 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
