The Democratic Republic of Borovlyany is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 92 million Borovlyanyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Borovlyanyian economy, worth 4.35 trillion Borovlyany Rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,243 Borovlyany Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nothing is beneath the government after it has extracted all the oil, the death penalty has been reintroduced, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, and the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borovlyany's national animal is the bison.

Borovlyany is ranked 79,344^th in the world and 1,371^st in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
