The Grand Duchy of Bostopia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Duke with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 47.093 billion Bostopians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newfort. The average income tax rate is 39.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Bostopian economy, worth an astonishing 11,199 trillion Bostopian Pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 237,826 Bostopian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Death is nobody's business, the government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans, Dàguó is simultaneously dead and alive, and workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Bostopia's national animal is the Bostopian Otter, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bostopia is ranked 332,391st in the world and 55th in Anaia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -45.28 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
