The Grand Garden Pavilions of Botanisma is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Princess Loren Alpin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 12.62 billion Botans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Environment, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adelisa. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Botanisman economy, worth 356 trillion Silvons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 28,256 Silvons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, prudishness is on the way out, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown. Botanisma's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Botanisma is ranked 59,643^rd in the world and 42^nd in Forest for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,310.75 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
