The Democratic Republic of Bodhisva is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.69 billion Bodhisvans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Still Waters. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bodhisvan economy, worth 748 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 202,871 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, war vets look after war animals, and diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bodhisva's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mahāyāna Buddhism.

Bodhisva is ranked 4,593rd in the world and 233rd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
