The United States of Bookment is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by President Book with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.393 billion Bookmentians 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 Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Book. The average income tax rate is 89.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Bookmentian economy, worth a remarkable 1,492 trillion B-dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 177,837 B-dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Bad punctuation has come to a full stop, President Book has been nicknamed 'Robomop', no one born in Bookment can fix a leaky faucet, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bookment's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bookment is ranked 23,347^th in the world and 5^th in Moonveil for Most Cultured, scoring 84 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
