The Republic of Free Bockland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Paulus von Strotten with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.179 billion Bocklandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vulterville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.3%.

The strong Bocklandick economy, worth 365 trillion Verits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 70,489 Verits, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Free Bockland Mental Asylum Party have recently won seats in parliament, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and Brasilistanis face layers of paperwork in a different language just to visit a doctor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Bockland's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Bockland is ranked 25,762^nd in the world and 764^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 41.62 Atheism Rate.
