The Empire of Bogoslovania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Gordan Freman with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, enslaved workforce, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.904 billion Bogoslovanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xen. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bogoslovanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,782 trillion Vorts a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 300,728 Vorts, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,662,706 per year while the poor average 27,429, a ratio of 60.6 to 1.

Airlines are reporting record profits from their new 'bread and water' service, pedestrians are advised to avoid wearing red while crossing the street, pre-eclampsia in pregnancy is treated with encouragement to take "long soothing walks", and Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bogoslovania's national animal is the Vortigaunt, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of the Gold Source.

Bogoslovania is ranked 16,671^st in the world and 19^th in KAISERREICH for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 5,817.48 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
