The Incorporated States of Neue Bosnie is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 567 million Neue Bosnieans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Neue Bosniean economy, worth 16.0 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 28,165 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A lot of glass windows have needed replacing recently, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Neue Bosniean restaurants, and the hills are alive with the sound of ringtones. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Neue Bosnie's national animal is the Muskrat , which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Neue Bosnie is ranked 123,754th in the world and 6,287th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 912.91 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
