The Queen's State of Botanico is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 21.819 billion Botanicoans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Spirituality, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.9%.

The very strong Botanicoan economy, worth 949 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 43,523 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is compulsory, Botanico has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of Botanico in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Botanico's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Botanico is ranked 254,969^th in the world and 6^th in Roseau for Lowest Crime Rates, with 49.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
