The State of Bolshe is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 11.896 billion Bolsheans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.7%.
The strong Bolshean economy, worth 683 trillion betales a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 57,450 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,347 per year while the poor average 13,362, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.
Military spending is on the increase, Harry Potter books are banned, Bolshe is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and Bolshe has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bolshe's national animal is the deer.
Bolshe is ranked 9,009th in the world and 3rd in Pacific Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
