The Most Serene Republic of Boris Pasternak is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 4.6 billion Boris Pasternakians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.8%.

The Boris Pasternakian economy, worth 203 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 44,192 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, and the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boris Pasternak's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Boris Pasternak is ranked 172,561^st in the world and 4^th in Caliban for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 326.01 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
