The United Economic Republic of Boloshniya is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Adolf Stalin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.36 billion Boloshniyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armyantinov. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Boloshniyan economy, worth an astonishing 14,501 trillion brubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 493,934 brubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,561,569 per year while the poor average 51,605, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, and the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Boloshniya's national animal is the army ant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Almighty Bruble.

Boloshniya is ranked 11,106th in the world and 115th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 2,197.39510755512 days.
