The Grand Duchy of Bostopia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Duke with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 46.977 billion Bostopians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newfort. The average income tax rate is 39.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Bostopian economy, worth an astonishing 11,172 trillion Bostopian Pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 237,826 Bostopian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Death is nobody's business, the government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans, Dàguó is simultaneously dead and alive, and workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Bostopia's national animal is the Bostopian Otter, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bostopia is ranked 7,313th in the world and 2nd in Anaia for Highest Average Incomes, with 237,826.6 Standard Monetary Units.
