The New Cruor Federation of Inner Bolthaii is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Avakael with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 20.137 billion Bolthaiians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esper. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.9%.

The large but underdeveloped Inner Bolthaiian economy, worth 907 trillion Halicarnassuses 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 45,047 Halicarnassuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 127,159 per year while the poor average 12,774, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The act of reporting blasphemy is known as 'Orthodoxxing', women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inner Bolthaii's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cruor.

Inner Bolthaii is ranked 106,446th in the world and 612th in Ordo Imperialia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
