The United Economic Republic of Boloshniya is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Adolf Stalin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.637 billion Boloshniyans 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armyantinov. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Boloshniyan economy, worth an astonishing 13,946 trillion brubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 486,996 brubles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,737,821 per year while the poor average 42,804, a ratio of 64.0 to 1.

Amusement park rides frequently collapse due to lack of maintenance, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist, and wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Boloshniya's national animal is the army ant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Almighty Bruble.

Boloshniya is ranked 102,646th in the world and 2,602nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,404.98 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
