The Republic of Bou-1 is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 21.464 billion Bou-1ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bou-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,827 trillion asdfs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 85,149 asdfs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, 'Asdfnado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, and it's rare to find an unchewed pencil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bou-1's national animal is the asdf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bou-1 is ranked 81,388^th in the world and 1^st in Boulder for Highest Average Incomes, with 85,149.75 Standard Monetary Units.
