The United Economic Republic of Boloshniya is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Adolf Stalin with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, ritual sacrifices, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.536 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, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, 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 14,589 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 493,959 brubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,561,694 per year while the poor average 51,607, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, tourists flock from around the world to see Boloshniya's famed 'rainbow slums', and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. 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 290,307^th in the world and 7,036^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -28.7 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
