The Kingdom of Lightning Boltz is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Storm with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 11.043 billion Boltzians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thunder. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Boltzian economy, worth 948 trillion Volts a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 85,872 Volts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lightning Boltz's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Thunderstorm.

Lightning Boltz is ranked 34,285^th in the world and 2,165^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,846.52 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
