Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Free Land of Boobaloo is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.407 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Welfare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 89%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Boobaloo's educational system is the envy of many and regarded as a pinnacle of academic achievement, all judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion, the wreckages of bombed planes that litter Boobaloo are highly popular tourist destinations, and all recreational drugs are legal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Boobaloo's national animal is the Pterodactyl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Coconut.

Boobaloo is ranked 5,235th in The North Pacific and 127,537th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring -11 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
