The Democratic Republic of Bodhisva is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, soft-spoken computers, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.953 billion Bodhisvans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Still Waters. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Bodhisvan economy, worth a remarkable 1,432 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, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 240,690 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and the Bodhisvan government is the world's largest NGO. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bodhisva's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bodhisva is ranked 1,230^th in the world and 48^th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 84.43 average smiles per day.
