The Colony World of Boe-shane is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Steward Johnsan with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.585 billion Boe-shanis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cosmen. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Boe-shanean economy, worth a remarkable 2,901 trillion galactic credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,852 galactic credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime is totally unknown. Boe-shane's national animal is the wavebrae, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Boe-shane is ranked 22,982^nd in the world and 450^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 107.54 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
