The Kingdom of Bochlon is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.019 billion Bochlonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bochlon City. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bochlonian economy, worth 185 trillion Couins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,313 Couins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Bochlon Blood Tithe, the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, and pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bochlon's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bochlon is ranked 156,242^nd in the world and 3,649^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
