The State of Boscu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.426 billion Boscuans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The very strong Boscuan economy, worth 872 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 27,772 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 188,821 per year while the poor average 1,492, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Euthanasia is illegal, voting is voluntary, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and Boscu has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Boscu's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Boscu is ranked 214,129th in the world and 417th in State for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
