The Adrift Trash Island of The Boggest Place on Earth is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, enforced nudity, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 561 million Bogowomps 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Gaming Corner. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bogowompalian economy, worth 62.8 trillion Robucks 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 111,978 Robucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Athletes are renowned for being the best at maths, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of The Boggest Place on Earth, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Boggest Place on Earth's national animal is the Howard the Duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Boggest Place on Earth is ranked 21,001st in the world and 12th in Sparkalia for Most Patriotic, with 46.24 flags saluted per person per day.
