The Protectorate of Bophu is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by John Bophu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 26.471 billion Bophuans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Social Policy, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Troy. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Bophuan economy, worth 424 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 16,033 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, Bophu has designated Troy as its capital city, Bophism has been named as Bophu's national religion, and John Bophu has just been declared ruler of Bophu in an international press conference. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bophu's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bophism.

Bophu is ranked 105,012^th in the world and 4^th in Ferelden for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,787.49 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
