The Democratic Republic of Borstovia is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 281 million Borstovians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Social Policy are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borstovia. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Borstovian economy, worth 18.9 trillion Kharas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 67,137 Kharas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Borstovia, and dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borstovia's national animal is the Borstavian Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Borstovia is ranked 42,417^th in the world and 133^rd in Concord for Highest Poor Incomes, with 61,681.75 Standard Monetary Units.
