The Democratic Republic of De Bushalte is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Isaac Sumizone with a fair hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.913 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Den Haag. The average income tax rate is 96%. 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.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, refugees from other nations are flocking to De Bushalte's border, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is totally unknown. De Bushalte's national animal is the Machine Soul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Reparation.

De Bushalte is ranked 3,417th in Lazarus and 97,936th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
