The Republic of World Bowl is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.772 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Law & Order, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Voting is compulsory, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, World Bowl's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is pervasive. World Bowl's national animal is the fan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the sack.

World Bowl is ranked 2,403rd in Osiris and 103,188th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 0 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
