The Protectorate of Bigger Boyz is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.959 billion Bigger Boyzians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Bigger Boyzian economy, worth 40.7 trillion Organs 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 10,278 Organs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bigger Boyz's national animal is the Eastern Massassauga, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bigger Boyz is ranked 247,874th in the world and 7th in Valle de Arena for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.83 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
