The Equatorial Forests of Uan aa Boa is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Adema Pula with an iron fist, and renowned for its lack of airports, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 14.058 billion Boanis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, socially-minded government is effectively ruled by the Department of Environment, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aa. The average income tax rate is 8.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Boani economy, worth 944 trillion labour notes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 67,213 labour notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, bins outnumber trees in city parks, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, and glamping Boanis won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uan aa Boa's national animal is the solidarity bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Uan aa Boa is ranked 78,305th in the world and 191st in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
