The United Socialist States of Boavisivelyna is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its digital currency, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.626 billion Boavisivelynans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.4%.

The powerhouse Boavisivelynan economy, worth 536 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,025 lire, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, annual tax returns take at least two years to complete, infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark, and military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boavisivelyna's national animal is the dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Boavisivelyna is ranked 160,013th in the world and 1,573rd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 61.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
