The Allied States of Bocunti is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Maximilian Ivens with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.291 billion Bocuntians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concordiate City. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Bocuntian economy, worth 774 trillion screws a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,574 screws, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, lavish state dinners in Concordiate City are the state's leading budgetary expenditure, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bocunti's national animal is the hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Bocunti is ranked 25,381st in the world and 1,353rd in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 84 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
