The Republic of Boslona is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5 million Boslonans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like. The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%. The very strong Boslonan economy, worth 275 billion Boanons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 55,177 Boanons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 205,935 per year while the poor average 10,363, a ratio of 19.9 to 1. Kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, the police force is on a recruitment drive, organ donation rates have hit a new low, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Boslona's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation. Boslona is ranked 33,058th in the world and 217th in The East Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring 81.25 on the Rand Index.
