The Adjective Noun of Bowzin is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by The One and Only with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 12.835 billion Bowzins are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Redemption. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bowzinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,332 trillion bots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,824 bots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and the government spends billions to protect Bowzin from a disaster that is one in a million. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bowzin's national animal is the python, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Building.

Bowzin is ranked 59,113th in the world and 2,883rd in Lazarus for Most Developed, scoring 74.95 on the Human Development Index.
