The Principality of Boyomo is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.708 billion Boyomoans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The thriving Boyomoan economy, worth 901 trillion opals a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 70,886 opals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,916 per year while the poor average 14,459, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Boyomo has designated Boyomo City as its capital city, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, Leader has just been declared ruler of Boyomo in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Boyomo's national religion. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Boyomo's national animal is the gorilla, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Boyomo is ranked 121,214th in the world and 8th in The Eighth Closet for Most Developed, scoring 58.35 on the Human Development Index.
