The People's Republic of Bolvisat is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Shurauniz with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.316 billion Bolvisatians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Biva. The average income tax rate is 28.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bolvisatian economy, worth 129 trillion Bolvistan Pasas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,467 Bolvistan Pasas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

A third of Bolvisatians are e-certified CEOs, many friends and relatives of Supreme Leader Shurauniz have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Supreme Leader Shurauniz to meetings with foreign heads of state, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Bolvisat's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bolvisat is ranked 231,260th in the world and 7,663rd in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -109.6 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
