The City-state of Hertogenbosch is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Grand-Mayor Johan van Westeveld with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.099 billion Bosschers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 's-Hertogenbosch. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bosscher economy, worth 192 trillion Guilders a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,492 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign musicians that Grand-Mayor Johan van Westeveld dislikes are turned away at the border, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', all recreational drugs are legal, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hertogenbosch's national animal is the Swamp Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Hertogenbosch is ranked 32,565^th in the world and 244^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 108.09 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
