The Adjective Noun of Bowzin is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by The One and Only with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 12.755 billion Bowzins are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Redemption. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bowzinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,324 trillion bots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,824 bots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and the government spends billions to protect Bowzin from a disaster that is one in a million. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bowzin's national animal is the python, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Building.

Bowzin is ranked 115,263rd in the world and 6,261st in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 42.13 Effective Tax Rate.
