The National Catholic Kingdom of Bombastion is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Giuseppe II with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.012 billion Bombastonians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Romito. The average income tax rate is 10.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Bombastonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,873 trillion Knickerbockers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 205,054 Knickerbockers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Police pull people off the street for even mentioning the word plane, books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Bombastion's national animal is the Turkeyhawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Bombastion is ranked 88,407th in the world and 201st in Europe for Most Stationary, with 514.9844620764 days.
