The Empire of Bogoslovania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Gordan Freman with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.454 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, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bogoslovanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,288 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 296,715 Vorts, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,624,406 per year while the poor average 27,654, a ratio of 58.7 to 1.

Loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, songs of praise to Gordan Freman are filled with coded messages from the resistance, and foragers descend on national cemeteries for 'all-you-can-dig-up' extravaganzas. 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 1,926^th in the world and 2^nd in KAISERREICH for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 15,714.77 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
