The Kingdom of Bolrieg is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by High King Bozhygniev Karlolov IX with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.917 billion Bolriegians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shadforad. The average income tax rate is 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bolriegian economy, worth a remarkable 9,554 trillion wagglefleebes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 342,252 wagglefleebes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has unofficially betrayed its values, the caged-bird trade is singing, government debts are financed through alchemy, and it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Bolrieg's national animal is the mongfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bolriegian Orthodoxy.

Bolrieg is ranked 183,910th in the world and 10,153rd in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 273.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
