The Beautiful Beetdom of Borschtslatvia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Ivan Oboihavagottanich with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 8.536 billion Borschtslatvians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kormania. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Borschtslatvian economy, worth a remarkable 1,302 trillion bealtniks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,596 bealtniks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sweat stains are proof of political acumen, today's secret ingredients are blood, sweat, and tears, crops are flattened as farmers bludgeon insects to death, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borschtslatvia's national animal is the white tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Beetism.

Borschtslatvia is ranked 89,359^th in the world and 3,126^th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 8.54 billion capita.
