The Chill Zone of Boszap is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dyex with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, pith helmet sales, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate population of 12.68 billion Bosseses are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clam City. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boszapian economy, worth a remarkable 1,971 trillion toonamis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 155,516 toonamis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, and thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boszap's national animal is the Dogoocatto, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bebopcomputer.

Boszap is ranked 4,671st in the world and 69th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
