The Holy Empire of Bodhisva is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 273 million Bodhisvans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Theosia. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bodhisvan economy, worth 24.2 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,553 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, and wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bodhisva's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bodhisva is ranked 258,292^nd in the world and 11,125^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.13 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
