The Republic of Bolacis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 18.089 billion Bolacisians 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 enormous government prioritizes Welfare, although Defense and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 59.4%.

The large but inefficient Bolacisian economy, worth 461 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 25,502 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

A spate of enforced closures has left 'Government FM' as the nation's only radio station, child labor has been outlawed, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, and otherwise healthy people are being sent to internment camps because they have VODAIS. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bolacis's national animal is the lollie.

Bolacis is ranked 167,499^th in the world and 70^th in Red Back Island for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
