The United Socialist States of Bolgodia is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 176 million Bolgodians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 61.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Bolgodian economy, worth 5.89 trillion Bolgods a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 33,467 Bolgods, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, elections have been outlawed, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bolgodia's national animal is the Communist Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bolgodia is ranked 60,712th in the world and 3,478th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
