The Republic of Bodusse is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Clarissa Moriarty with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.845 billion Bodusseans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, although Education, Environment, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Willowbendale. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Bodussean economy, worth 725 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,927 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, bizarre-looking creatures called 'Dragondogs' dominate wildlife preserves, and annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bodusse's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Bodusse is ranked 290,303^rd in the world and 3,848^th in the West Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -11.22 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
