The Republic of Boldia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Stephen Isakov with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.996 billion Boldians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eiffel's Bridge. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boldian economy, worth a remarkable 2,087 trillion crowns a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,022 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime is totally unknown. Boldia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Boldia is ranked 9,247^th in the world and 10^th in Community for Nicest Citizens, with 34.6 average smiles per day.
