The Kingdom of Boris I is a mammoth, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.204 billion Boris Iians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 32.1%.

The large but inefficient Boris Iian economy, worth 246 trillion Levs 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, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 34,197 Levs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Boris I City to enjoy their national art, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, research grant proposals read like political diatribes, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Boris I's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Boris I is ranked 104,971^st in the world and 47^th in Dawnstar for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 822.85 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
