The Republic of Bothnia Minor is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Phillip Kazdan with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 28.075 billion Bothnians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erisia. The average income tax rate is 59.6%.

The large but underdeveloped Bothnian economy, worth 927 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,034 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, and geosynchronous satellites are now manned by unpaid interns. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bothnia Minor's national animal is the Horse and its national religion is Christianity Islam and Judiasm.

Bothnia Minor is ranked 56,185^th in the world and 3,009^th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
