The Protectorate of Boewp is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 437 million Boewpians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aura Nova. The average income tax rate is 57.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Boewpian economy, worth 31.9 trillion florins a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,948 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The well-off can quite literally buy extra votes, school uniforms are compulsory, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boewp's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Boewp is ranked 33,043^rd in the world and 14^th in Norrsken for Most Secular, with 31.25 Atheism Rate.
