The United Economic Republic of Boloshniya is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Adolf Stalin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.627 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, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, 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 14,634 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 493,974 brubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,561,772 per year while the poor average 51,609, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

The military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, tourists flock from around the world to see Boloshniya's famed 'rainbow slums', truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. 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 285,787^th in the world and 7,002^nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -255.84 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
