The Democratic Republic of Boldia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Stephen Isakov with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 13.799 billion Boldians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kleinwald. The average income tax rate is 60.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boldian economy, worth a remarkable 1,545 trillion crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,978 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Boldia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Boldia is ranked 213,715^th in the world and 896^th in Europe for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.75 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
