The People's Republic of Bonistar is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 73 million Bonistarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Bonistarian economy, worth 2.36 trillion Tuyens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,262 Tuyens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs, cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze, autocrats are persona non grata, and there's no representation without taxation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bonistar's national animal is the racoon dog , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bonistar is ranked 289,864^th in the world and 1,027^th in Concord for Most Developed, scoring 51.01 on the Human Development Index.
