The Constitutional Monarchy of Bonvolkia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by King Heinrich Maximilius with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 13.715 billion Bonvolkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katyusha. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Bonvolkian economy, worth a remarkable 2,985 trillion Drecks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 217,687 Drecks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and guilt tripped foreigners heavily dictate child hunger in Bonvolkia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bonvolkia's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Bonvolkia is ranked 247,740^th in the world and 24^th in The Labyrinth for Largest Black Market, with 191 billion Standard Monetary Units.
