The All for the love of you of David Bowman is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, avowedly heterosexual populace, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.967 billion David Bowmanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 54.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient David Bowmanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,101 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 107,053 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, the sun now sets on the David Bowmanian Empire, and there is one competing standard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. David Bowman's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

David Bowman is ranked 22,420th in the world and 4th in BLITZKRIEG for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 31,351.79 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
