The People's Overlordship of Bulw is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Loji with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.775 billion Freiheit ist scheibes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seleukia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Bulwian economy, worth a remarkable 2,029 trillion Civic Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 231,298 Civic Rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 777,581 per year while the poor average 51,016, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.

Military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', there are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees his shadow, graffiti graces every city's streets, and the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bulw's national animal is the T-Rex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Astralism.

Bulw is ranked 7,903rd in the world and 2nd in Merciam for Highest Average Incomes, with 231,298.61 Standard Monetary Units.
