The Democratic Republic of Bodhisva is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, national health service, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.913 billion Bodhisvans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Still Waters. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bodhisvan economy, worth 824 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 210,645 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Bodhisvan mussels the biggest in The North Pacific, truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, and appliance stores are finding spy cameras embedded in their unboxed merchandise. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bodhisva's national animal is the yak, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mahāyāna Buddhism.

Bodhisva is ranked 288,782^nd in the world and 6,266^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -19.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
