The Commonwealth of Bocaj States is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 171 million Bocaj Statesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Bocaj Statesian economy, worth 9.48 trillion Groons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 55,444 Groons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing, troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, people talk about things being better when men were men, and angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bocaj States's national animal is the Mako.

Bocaj States is ranked 85,283^rd in the world and 369^th in Concord for Nicest Citizens, with 14.64 average smiles per day.
