The Most Serene Republic of Bone Idol is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 8.349 billion Bone Idolians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Bone Idolian economy, worth 130 trillion Pennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 15,589 Pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bone Idol's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bone Idol is ranked 186,960^th in the world and 1^st in Ecofascist for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 35.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
