The Democratic Republic of Bodhisva is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, national health service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.919 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 825 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 210,760 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has certified several glow-in-the-dark athletes as drug free, Bodhisvans teach life's not worth a damn 'til you can shout out 'I am what I am', visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Leader, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. 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 3,614^th in the world and 186^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,780.08 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
