The Republic of Bochlon is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by David Moore with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 4.648 billion Bochlonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kulkich. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Bochlonian economy, worth 322 trillion Bochlonian dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,310 Bochlonian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If there's something strange in your neighborhood you call Brancaland, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, and milk often tastes of pea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bochlon's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bochlon is ranked 81,034^th in the world and 1,271^st in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 66.82 on the Human Development Index.
