The Free Land of Bolabol is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, lack of airports, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 254 million Bolabolians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.9%.

The strong Bolabolian economy, worth 14.4 trillion Dabloons 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, fairly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Retail. 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 56,805 Dabloons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,760 per year while the poor average 9,432, a ratio of 24.3 to 1.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, and citizens are now allowed to discuss whether Leader is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bolabol's national animal is the Stonefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bolabol is ranked 194,800^th in the world and 135^th in Thaecia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.25 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
