The Kingdom of Bolrieg is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by High King Bozhygniev Karlolov IX with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, flagrant waste-dumping, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.029 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 7,921 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 common. Average income is an amazing 343,995 wagglefleebes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, Bolrieg isn't what it used to be, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, and charities reserve the right to not help those who go against religious teachings. 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 305,238th in the world and 32nd in Kali Yuga for Most Cultured, scoring 5 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
