The District of Boulderridge is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 22.399 billion Boulderridgeans 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 relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The strong Boulderridgean economy, worth a remarkable 1,186 trillion Juno aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 52,988 Juno aurums, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 299,908 per year while the poor average 4,587, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Boulderridge has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Boulderridge's national animal is the quick pink fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Boulderridge is ranked 92,240^th in the world and 1^st in Abidjan for Most Corrupt Governments, with 18.67 kickbacks per hour.
