The Republic of Bovad is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Andre Oppenheimer with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.712 billion Bovadians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reriatone. The average income tax rate is 88.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bovadian economy, worth 742 trillion Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 129,975 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many friends and relatives of Andre Oppenheimer have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, the government is avowedly secular, pranking is an art form, and sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort. Crime is totally unknown. Bovad's national animal is the Manatee, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is AÞeism.

Bovad is ranked 27,446^th in the world and 532^nd in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 110.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
